Abstract

Hypertension was one of the causes of premature death in people in the world and the longer the problem is increasing. Risk factors for hypertension due to unhealthy eating patterns such as consuming lots of high-salt foods, high-fat consumption, and smoking habits. This study aimed to determine the relationship between eating patterns and smoking habits with the incidence of hypertension in the elderly in Banjaragung Village, Puri District, Mojokerto Regency. This research design used correlation analytic with cross sectional approach. The population in this study was all the elderly in the hamlet of Brongkol, Bnajaragung Village, Puri District, Mojokerto Regency, as many as 40 elderly. The sampling technique of this research was total sampling. The sample in this study amounted to 40 people. The research instrument used a questionnaire and a sphygmomanometer. Data analysis used Chi Square Test and Logistic Regression. The results suggested that most of the respondents had a bad diet, as many as 24 people (60%), most of the respondents had a habit of not smoking, as many as 23 people (57.5%), and most of the respondents had hypertension blood pressure (≥ 140 /90 mmHg), as many as 27 people (67.5%). The results of the Chi Square test showed that there was a relationship between eating patterns (pvalue=0.000) and smoking habits (pvalue=0.000) with the incidence of hypertension in the elderly. The results of the Logistics Regression test showed that the p-value of the dietary factor was 0.000 and the smoking habit factor was 0.013. The dominant factor influencing the incidence of hypertension is diet. High levels of fat in the blood can cause blockage of blood vessels due to the amount of fat that sticks to the walls of blood vessels. Circumstances like this can spur the heart to pump blood more vigorously, triggering an increase in blood pressure.
