Perbedaan asupan mikronutrien pada lansia penderita hipertensi esensial yang overweight dan tidak overweight
Abstract: Hypertension in
overweight elderly is a crucial problem considering that its pathogenesis,
disease pattern and management are not entirely the same with hypertension in
young adults. Hypertension in overweight elderly requires particular attention
because it is closely associated with overall management (medical and
nutritional).
Objective: To study different intake of micronutrients, i.e. natrium
(Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) in overweight and non
overweight elderly with essential hypertension at Griya Sehat Lansia (GSL)
Yogyakarta.
Method: The study was analytical with case control study design. Samples
were as many as 138 elderly of 60-75 years old taken using multistage sampling
technique. Data of intake Na, K, Ca, Mg were obtained through semi quantitative
food frequency questionnaire (FFQ); essential hypertension through assessment
of blood pressure using sphygmomanometer; overweight and non overweight status
through body mass index (BMI), BMI for overweight was 23-24.9 kg/m2 and
non-overweight was 18.50-22.99 kg/m2. Statistical analysis used paired t test,
Chi-Square and logistic regression.
Results: There were differences in intake of Na, K, Ca, and Mg between
overweight and non overweight elderly (p<0.05). There were significant
association (p<0.05) between intake of Na, K, Ca, and Mg of overweight and
non overweight elderly with essential hypertension, with OR 5.271; 6.813; 3.398
and 3.444. Intake of Na and K were variables most significantly associated with
overweight and non overweight elderly with essential hypertension (p<0.05).
Conclusion: There were significant differences in intake of
micronutrients (Na, K, Ca, Mg) between overweight and non overweight elderly
with essential hypertension at GSL Yogyakarta.
