Indonesia has a high prevalence of hypertension accompanied by relatively high salt consumption, posing a significant public health concern, particularly in coastal areas where salty foods and saline water are commonly available. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between salt consumption and hypertension grade among residents in a coastal area. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 174 hypertensive patients in Pangandaran District who had recorded blood pressure measurements at the local health center. Data on respondents characteristics, including age, sex, education level, occupation, and income, were collected. Salt intake was assessed using a Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ). Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the association between salt consumption and hypertension grade while controlling for potential confounding variables. The mean sodium intake among respondents was 1312.11 ± 596.27 mg/day. Salt consumption was significantly associated with hypertension grade (β = 0.001; p = 0.004) after adjustment for education level and type of occupation. In conclusion, higher salt consumption is significantly associated with increased severity of hypertension in coastal populations, highlighting the need for targeted dietary interventions to reduce salt intake in these areas.

This study concludes that higher salt consumption is significantly associated with increased severity of hypertension in coastal populations.The findings emphasize the importance of addressing sodium intake as a crucial risk factor for hypertension, particularly in vulnerable coastal communities.Therefore, targeted dietary interventions are necessary to reduce salt intake and mitigate the public health burden of hypertension in these areas.

Berdasarkan temuan penelitian ini, beberapa saran penelitian lanjutan dapat dipertimbangkan. Pertama, penelitian longitudinal diperlukan untuk mengkaji hubungan sebab-akibat antara konsumsi garam dan perkembangan hipertensi di wilayah pesisir, dengan mempertimbangkan faktor-faktor perancu potensial lainnya. Kedua, studi intervensi yang berfokus pada perubahan perilaku terkait pola makan, seperti edukasi gizi dan promosi makanan rendah garam, perlu dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitasnya dalam menurunkan tekanan darah dan mengurangi risiko hipertensi. Ketiga, penelitian kualitatif dapat dilakukan untuk menggali lebih dalam mengenai faktor-faktor sosial, budaya, dan ekonomi yang memengaruhi konsumsi garam di masyarakat pesisir, sehingga dapat dirancang strategi intervensi yang lebih tepat sasaran dan berkelanjutan. Penelitian-penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi signifikan dalam upaya pencegahan dan pengendalian hipertensi di Indonesia, khususnya di wilayah-wilayah pesisir yang rentan terhadap masalah kesehatan ini.
