Abstract

Background: Pos Pembinaan Terpadu (POSBINDU) was an Indonesian government program to promote and prevent NCDs in the community. A high prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are found in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This study analyze factors associated with blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol, and uric acid levels in POSBINDU participants.
Method: This study was an observational study with a cross-sectional design that used secondary data from POSBINDU examination results in Karanglo Village, Tempel, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta during 2023. A total of 145 participants aged above 15 years old were recorded. Participant characteristics included age, gender, frequency of visits, and nutritional status. Health outcomes measured included blood pressure, random blood glucose level, uric acid in blood, and blood
cholesterol without fasting. Chi-square analysis was used to determine the association between participant characteristics and health outcomes. This analysis used software.
Result: We revealed that 41.26% of participants were overweight and 51.26% of participants had central obesity. The results of the analysis showed that there was an association between age and blood pressure (p=0.00), while gender was associated with random blood glucose level (p=0.03). However BMI and weight circumference were not associated with blood pressure and blood glucose level. All participants' characteristics were not associated with uric acid in blood and blood cholesterol (p>0.05).
Conclusion: This study showed the suboptimal implementation of POSBINDU activities. Specifically, the missed opportunity in screening for male and elderly groups. Education in POSBINDU is needed to maintain and improve knowledge related to risk factors of NCDs.
