| dc.description.abstract | Coronary heart disease is a cardiovascular disease caused by the blockage of the
coronary arteries due to plaque buildup. According to the World Health
Organization (WHO) in 2021, heart disease is the leading cause of death from
non-communicable diseases, accounting for 43,6% of total deaths from non
communicable diseases worldwide. In 2024, Mitra Sejati General Hospital
recorded 253 cases of CHD. This study aims to identify risk factors associated
with the occurrence of coronary heart disease in outpatients at Mitra Sejati
General Hospital in 2025. This is a quantitative study using a cross-sectional
design. The sample size in this study was 120 people, selected using accidental
sampling. Data were collected through interviews and medical records. The
univariate analysis results show that most respondents were aged 55-74 years
(64,1%), male (53,3%), Batak ethnicity (57,5%), high school/equivalent education
(50,8%), unemployed (52,5%), no family history of coronary heart disease
(78,3%), no hypertension (63,3%), normal cholesterol levels (75%), not obese
(52,5%), non-smokers (74,2%), and non-alcohol consumers (94,2%). Bivariate
analysis using the Chi-square test found a significant relationship between age
(p<0,05), gender (p<0,05), occupation (<0,05), family history (p<0,05),
hypertension (p<0,05), cholesterol levels (p<0,05), obesity (p<0,05), and smoking
habits (p<0,05). There is no relationship between ethnicity (p>0,05), education
(p>0,05), and alcohol consumption (p>0,05) with the incidence of coronary heart
disease. The recommendation to the public is to adopt a healthy lifestyle,
including quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, and controlling blood
pressure and cholesterol levels. | en_US |
