Introduction: Low fiber intake, excess sodium intake and physical inactivity will
affect the increased blood volume, so the eventally it will ucrease the blood
pressure.
Objective:To determine the relationship of fiber intake, sodium intake and
physical activity on blood pressure mout patient of UPTD Puskesmas Pajang
Surakarta.
Research method:This is an Observational research with cross sectional
approach. A total of 44 subjects, were selected user consecutive sampling
method. Fiber and sodium intake were obtained using semiquantitative FFQ,
while physical activity was obtained using physical activity recall, method blood
pressure was measured sphygmomanometer. All data were analyted using
Pearson product moment or Spearman rank test.
Results: A total of 81.7% of the subjects had low fiber intake and 43.2% of the
subjects had hish sodium intake. 75.1% of the subjects had mild physical activity
and 41% of the subject had hypertension stage 1 based on systolic blood
pressure and 45.5% of the subjects had a of hypertensive stage 1. Based
diastolic blood preassure there is an association of fiber intake with systolic blood
pressure (p = 0.011) and diastolic (p = 0.002). There is also an association of
sodium intake with systolic blood pressure (p = 0.046) and diastolic (p = 0.034).
However, no association werefound on physical activity with either systolic (p =
0.013) or diastolic blood preassure (p = 0.024).
Conclusion : This study concluded that there is an association of fiber intake,
sodium intake with blood pressure in outpatient UPTD Puskesmas Pajang
Surakarta. However no association was found on physical activity with blood
preassure in outpatien of UPTD Puskesmas Pajang Surakarta
