Heart disease Fast food Lifestyle Nutritional status; Adolescents Cardiac patients.Abstract
Heart disease remains the primary cause of death both globally and nationally. One factor contributing to the nutritional status of cardiac patients is fast food consumption and lifestyle. However, most previous research has focused on healthy adolescent and adult populations, while research on cardiac patients with chronic clinical conditions remains limited. This study is essential, given that nutritional status management is a crucial aspect of preventing complications and improving the quality of life for cardiac patients. This research was conducted at the Cardiac Clinic of RGI Kudungga Sangatta in June 2025, employing an analytic survey design with a cross-sectional approach . Samples were determined using the accidental sampling technique on cardiac patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The dependent variable was nutritional status measured by BMI, while independent variables included fast food consumption (FFQ) and lifestyle (physical activity, dietary pattern, and smoking questionnaires) . Data analysis utilized the Chi-Square test with a 95% significance level (α = 0.05). The results showed that among 44 respondents, the majority were male (72.7%), aged 26–40 and >51 years (34.1%), and had a high school education (56.8%). Most respondents had a normal nutritional status (54.5%), rarely consumed fast food (68.2%), and possessed an unfavorable lifestyle (86.3%). Bivariate analysis indicated no significant relationship between fast food consumption and nutritional status (p=0.517; OR=1.524). However, lifestyle was significantly associated with nutritional status (p=0.018; OR=2.294), where respondents with unfavorable lifestyles were 2.3 times more likely to be obese. These findings suggest that follow-up actions, such as hospital-based nutritional counseling and healthy lifestyle education programs, are highly recommended to reduce the burden of heart disease in the region.
