Abstract

Obesity can increase several degenerative diseases risk, especially high blood pressure. High blood pressure in obese can be triggered by various factors. This study aims to determine the relationship between physical activity, fiber, and fat intake with blood pressure in obese employees at Jakarta Islamic Hospital. This research is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design using secondary data obtained from Jakarta Islamic Hospital. The data collected in this study were blood pressure from Medical Check Up (MCU), physical activity level from Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), also fiber and fat intake from Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) with the number of respondents as many as 41 respondents. The results showed that most of the respondents had normal blood pressure (56.1%), low physical activity (56.1%), low fiber intake (65.9%), and excessive fat intake (58.5%). Statistical tests show that there is a relationship between fiber (p-value = 0.002) and fat intake (p-value = 0.002) with blood pressure, but there is no relationship between physical activity and blood pressure (p-value = 1,000). It is suggested to respondents be able to increase physical activity, consume enough fiber and reduce fat intake to prevent obesity which has an impact on high blood pressure.
