Hypertension Determinant Factors in Pasar Cibinong Traders, West Java']Java

In Indonesia, the prevalence of hypertension has increased quite rapidly and has become a public health problem. Traditional market traders are prone to hypertension because of the high work pressure that often causes physical and mental fatigue. Athough research on hypertension risk factors has been carried out a lot, but research on market traders is still limited. This study was conducted with the aim to determine the proportion of hypertension in Cibinong market traders and the factors that influence it. The study was conducted with a cross sectional design using a quantitative analysis. Bivariate analysis was carried out by Chi Square test and multivariate analysis was performed with Multiple Logistic Regression tests. The study was conducted in November 2017 at Cibinong market, Bogor Regency, West Java. The sample size of 75 people with inclusion criteria had traded for at least 1 month and the exclusion criteria of traders had a history of hypertension and taking antihypertensive drugs. The dependent variable is hypertension while the independent variables are gender, age, type of trade, duration of trading, duration of work, sleep duration, family history of hypertension, smoking history, physical activity, fruit and vegetables consumption, obestity, and central obesity. The results showed that the proportion of hypertension was 30.7%. The factors indicated to be associated with hypertension were central obesity (OR 22.05; 95% CI 1.03-239.9) and gender (OR 9.1; 95% CI 1.06-78.3) after being tested together as other variables (multivariate). Suggestion are given to control hypertension in market traders especially for male traders with central obesity through regular checks and regular treatment.
