Abstract

Background: Non-communicable diseases such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus are increasing globally, including in Indonesia. One of the risk factors that is thought to contribute is the habit of consuming seasonings containing sodium and monosodium glutamate (MSG). This study aims to analyze the relationship between the proportion of seasoning consumption and the prevalence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus based on data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (IHS).

Method: The research method used was a cross-sectional design with samples from households spread across 38 provinces in Indonesia. Data were collected through interviews, blood pressure measurements, and blood glucose level checks.

Result: The results of the analysis showed a significant relationship between daily seasoning consumption and an increase in the prevalence of hypertension based on a doctor's diagnosis (r = 0.470), while based on measurement results it was (r = 0.511), and for the prevalence of diabetes mellitus was (r = 0.364). Conversely, less frequent consumption tends to reduce the prevalence of both diseases.

Conclusion: The conclusion of this study confirms that high consumption of seasonings contributes to an increased risk of hypertension and diabetes mellitus, so education on balanced sodium consumption and control of seasoning use needs to be improved to prevent negative impacts on public health. These findings are expected to be the basis for consideration by policymakers in designing more effective nutrition interventions and health promotion programs.
