Risk factors for nutrition-related chronic disease among adults in Indonesia (original) (raw)

Objective To conduct a secondary data analysis detailing the associations between sociodemographic and behavioral factors and nutrition-related chronic disease. Methods These analyses utilized 2014 data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey, a home-based survey that collected socioeconomic, dietary intake, physical activity, and biological data among adults. We explored four outcomes in relation to sociodemographic and behavioral determinants: 1) hypertension, 2) elevated high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and 3) central obesity, as these are critical metabolic determinants in the progression to cardiovascular disease, and 4) type 2 diabetes. Hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure �140 mm or diastolic blood pressure � 90mm or current use of antihypertensive medication. Elevated hs-CRP was defined as hs-CRP >3 mg/dL. Central obesity was defined as waist circumference � 90 cm if male and waist circumference � 80 cm if female, which are specific to South Asia. Type 2 diabetes was defined as glycated hemoglobin � 6.5%. We employed separate gender-stratified multivariate logistic regression models to test the associations between sociodemographic and behavioral determinants and each nutrition-related chronic disease outcome. All analyses employed sampling weights, which account for the survey design.
