| Summary: | Background: The prevalence of hypertension incidence in Wonosobo
regency fluctuated from year 2007-2010. In 2007 fluctuated to 7 per 1000
population, in 2008 increased to 11 per 1000 population, in 2009
increased to 14 per 1000 population and in 2010 dropped to 12 per 1000
population. The increases in such cases, need attention as a health
problem which need to be followed immediately.
Objectives: To analyze the major risk factors of hypertension among
outpatient clinics in Wonosobo regency.
Methods: We used observational analytic study with case control design.
The number of samples consist of 438 people (219 cases and 219
controls). Cases were patients who were seeking treatment at outpatient
clinics with hypertension (systolic � 140 mmHg and diastolic � 90 mmHg).
Controls were patients who did not suffer from hypertension. Data analysis
was performed quantitatively with the analysis phases included univariate,
(frequency distributions) bivariate (chi-square) and multivariate analysis
(logistic reggesion).
Results: The largest case was women 270 (61.6%). And the age group of
49-57 years is the biggest number of suffering hypertension 180 (41.1%).
The results of bivariate analysis of smoking variable was statistically
significant (p = 0027, OR = 1532 and 95% CI = 1049 - 2.239), while the
variables of coffee and alcohol consumption, physical activity and the
goiter status were not statistically significant (p => 0.05). Then multivariate
analysis, indicated the OR value of smoking variables is 1.594 and the OR
value of the goiter status variable is 1.976.
Conclusion: There was an association between smoking with
hypertension at outpatient clinics in Wonosobo regency. And there was
no association between coffee and alcohol consumption, physical activity,
and the goiter status with the incidence of hypertension.
