Bivariate analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between employment status (p=0,006), hypertension (p=0,029), diabetes mellitus (p=0,043), consumption of water (p=0,0001), and consumption of instant packaged drinks (p=0,003) with the incidence of chronic kidney failure. Meanwhile, there was no significant relationship between age (p=1,000), gender (p=0,197), education level (p=0,118), and history of kidney stones (p=0,060) with the incidence of chronic kidney failure.
