Abstract

Although achievements have been achieved to anticipate and control non-communicable diseases (NCDs), the frequency of these diseases are basically greater. The purpose of this study was to assess risk factors of non-communicable diseases in Medan City, in 2017. Using a cross-sectional design, the selected sample was recruited purposively consisting of 440 individuals. The selected individual was approached in the interview and the related questionnaire is filled out. Only 154 were included in the collection of measurement data, namely systolic and diastolic blood data, weight, height, uric acid, blood glucose and cholesterol. Chi-square and independent t test were used to analyze data. Obesity was seen in 16.3% and 8.7% of female and male respondents. There was no significant difference in the proportion of obesity between female and male respondents. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were estimated at 129.3 and 82.9 mmHg on average and were evenly distributed in female and male. And 32.5% of respondents were smokers and 17.5% of respondents had drunk alcohol. Risk factors for non-communicable diseases were not evenly distributed in male and female. Moderate physical activity, overweight, obesity and high blood pressure were more common in female, while smoking and alcohol consumption were more common in male.
