Background: Gout arthritis is a degenerative disease caused by abnormal purine
metabolism which is characterized by increased levels of uric acid in the blood. Several
factors that can increase uric acid levels in the blood include genetics, purine intake,
obesity, gender, and consumption of certain drugs.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between nutritional
knowledge, purine intake, and nutritional status on the incidence of gout arthritis in the
working area of Bulakamba Public Health Center.
Methods: The design of this study used an observational study with a cross sectional study
approach. The number of samples in this study were 74 respondents. The sampling
technique used was purposive sampling. Data collection techniques used in this study used
research instruments such as nutritional knowledge forms, Semi Quantitative-Food
Frequency Questionnaire forms, measurements of weight and height and measurements of
uric acid levels.
The results: Of the Chi-Square test of nutritional knowledge variabels on the incidence of
gout arthritis p<0,05 (p=0,012), purine intake variabels on the incidence of gout arthritis
p<0,05 (p=0,000), dan nutritional status variabels on the incidence of gout arthritis
p<0,05 (p=0,011).
Conclusion: There is a relationship between nutritional knowledge, purine intake, and
nutritional status on the incidence of gout arthritis. |
