Prevalensi Penyakit Arteri Perifer Berdasarkan Nilai Ankle‑Brachial Pressure Index di Universitas Mulawarman
Abstract
Background: The prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in the world in 2015 is estimated to be more
than 200 million people, occurring at <0.4 per 1000 people at the age of 35‑45 years and 6 out of 1000 people at
the age of 65 years. However, the prevalence of PAD and its risk factors for adolescence have not been clearly
delineated.
Objective: Determine the prevalence and risk factors for peripheral artery disease in Mulawarman University
medical faculty students.
Method: This study used 141 respondents with a purposive sampling technique of taking respondents. PAD is
confirmed by the interpretation of the value of the ankle‑brachial pressure index (ABPI). ABPI values were
measured using a vascular doppler and a sphygmomanometer. While the risk factors are measured using a
questionnaire.
Results: This study identified 52.5% of respondents as having normal ABPI values, 44.7% having PAD (mild
and moderate), and 2.8% of blood vessel calcifications. The risk factors for PAD did not have a significant
relationship with the ABPI / PAP value with p‑value 0.730 (consumption of salty foods), 0.823 (sweet
consumption), 0.718 (drinking coffee), 0.445 (smoking) and 0.981 (physical activity).
Conclusion: The habit of consuming salty foods, sweet foods, drinking excess coffee and smoking habits, and
inadequate physical activity can reduce the ABPI value or become a risk factor for peripheral artery disease.
