Relationship Blood Pressure and Exercise with Vitamin D Levels in Employees
Abstract
In Indonesia prevalence of vitamin D deficiency is 63%, so although Indonesia is a tropical country on the equator, it doesn’t guarantee vitamin D levels. Vitamin D deficiency can cause bone deformity and the risk of various chronic diseases such as diabetes, autoimmune diseases, arthritis, cancer, obesity, the distraction of lipid profile, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases can be increased. Increases blood pressure in globally remains the leading cause of death. In Indonesia, hypertension prevalence reached 47.8% with 70% of them suffering from undiagnosed hypertension. About 50-90% of vitamin D is mainly synthesized in the skin after exposure to UVB whereas only a minor part is derived from dietary sources. Exercise in the morning can help synthesize vitamin D. Because of that, the aim of this study is to research the relationship between blood pressure and exercise with vitamin D levels. The study was conducted on 63 employees with range aged 19-60 years in February 2021 at USAKTI Faculty of Medicine, East Jakarta. The research design used in this study was an observational analytic with cross-sectional approach and analyzed by chi-square test. This research presents a significant relationship between blood pressure with vitamin D levels (p=0.044), meanwhile exercise doesn’t have any significant relationship with vitamin D levels (p=0.565). This study shows vitamin D can impact blood pressure, while vitamin D source not only from sun exposure but can be taken from food or supplements.
