Abstract: Currently, Indonesia
is facing double nutritional problems, namely lack of nutrition and over
nutrition. Over nutrition is considered as the early signal of the coming of
degeneratif disease such as Coronary Heart Disease. The attempt efforts to
overcome and to prevent Coronary Heart Disease is by regulating food
consumption pattern especially by controlling the fat supplied by the food
consumed.
The purpose of this study was to find out the between the food
consumption patternand the level of total blood cholesterol in Civil Servants
in the regional Office of Directorate General of Treasury, the Province of Sumatera
Utara, Medan with cross-sectional
design.
The primary data for this study were obtained by distributing
questionaires containing food consumption, characteristic, total blood
cholesterol, measurement of Civil Servants. The secondary data were obtained
from general description of the regional Office of Directorate General of
Treasury, the Province of Sumatera Utara, Medan. The correlation between the
food consumption pattern and the level of cholesterol was descriptively
analyzed through Exact-Fisher statistic test at α = 0.05.
The result of this study showed that most of the Civil servants often
consumed aminal food (1-3 times a week) such as eggs, chicken, beef/mutton,
ampele, shrimp/squid/crab and other food containing fat such as fried and
coconut-milk contained food. The average total blood cholesterol was 120.8
mg/dl, most of the energy consumed by the Civil Servants was good (80%) and
there was no correlation between energy consumption and the level of total
blood cholesterol (p=0.768). fat energy consumption was higher (75%),
therefore, there was a significant correlation between fat energy consumption
and the level of total blood cholesterol (p=0.001), between saturated fatty
acid intake and the level of blood cholesterol (p=0.002), and between
unsaturated fatty acid intake and the level of total blood cholesterol
(p=0.001).
The Civil Servants are suggested to control their consumption pattern by
reducing to consumed fat and controling the frequncy or eating fat and
cholesterol containing food.
