Abstract:

Hypertension is associated with a factor of ischemic heart disease and other chronic medical conditions. The association between hyperglycaemia and elevated abnormal blood lipid concentration has already been proposed. However, information about the roles of total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) is currently limited. This study intends to explore the difference in triglycerides and total cholesterol between the normotension and hypertension groups in the Surakarta community. An observational study applying a cross-sectional design has been accomplished, and the study population resided in Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia. This study was conducted in August-November 2022. Each participant should complete the provided questionnaire to survey the general characteristics such as age and sex. Patients were also measured in terms of their body weight and height, abdomen circumference, body mass index, total cholesterol, and triglyceride. Univariate and bivariate analyses were used in this study. The univariate analysis aims to describe each characteristic of the research variable. After univariate analysis, bivariate analysis was performed on two related variables. This study used Mann-Whitney analysis to identify the differences between predictor variables. Individuals with hypertension demonstrated substantially higher amounts of SBP and DBP than the normotension group (p=0.002 and 0.000 respectively). Total cholesterol between normotension and hypertension groups showed a significant difference (p=0.004). Other variables such as body weight, body height, abdomen circumference, body mass index, and triglyceride didn’t significantly differ between normotension and hypertension groups. It can be concluded that total cholesterol can be used as a predictor for hypertension risk.
