- Abstract
Based on the results of the RISKESDAS 2018, the prevalence of hypertension in people aged > 18 years has increased from 25.8% (2013) to 34.1% (2018). Several factors, especially modifiable factors, need to be further identified to prevent an increase in blood pressure in young adults. The objective of this study was to identify related factors of elevated blood pressure (BP) among young adults in Indonesia. This is a cross-sectional study using the national population survey, Indonesia Family Live Survey (IFLS) 2014–15 wave 5. Only those who were 26 to 35 years old were included in the analyses. Elevated BP was defined as mean systole ≥ 120mmHg and diastole ≥ 80mmHg based on three times measurements. Odds Ratio (OR) with the Confidence Interval of 95% (95% CI) was calculated to determine factors associated with elevated BP in young adults. Among 7,250 young adult participants, 3,732 (51,5%) participants had elevated BP. Men were 2.64 times more likely to have elevated BP than women (95% CI 2.39–2.92). Education background ≤ 12 years (OR = 1.35, 95% CI 1.20–1.52), abnormal BMI (OR = 1.46, 95% CI 1.32–1.60), smoking habit (OR = 2.09, 95% CI 1.88–2.31), strenuous physical activity (OR = 1.41, 95% CI 1.26–1.58) and soda consumption (OR = 1.20, 95% CI 1.06–1.35) were also identified as predictors of elevated BP. In conclusion, elevated BP in young adults was associated with gender, education, BMI, smoking habit, strenuous physical activity, and soda consumption.
