This cross-sectional study was designed to identify correlates of blood pressure control behaviors, including participation in physical activity, maintaining a healthy diet, limiting alcohol and tobacco use, discussing blood pressure with a doctor, and getting screened for blood pressure. The study sample included 116 Korean American men and women aged 42 to 77 years ( M = 58.7) who resided in the greater Philadelphia area. Intention to exercise, comfort exercising in the neighborhood, and confidence in the ability to find time to exercise were positively correlated with participating in physical activity. Knowledge about the benefits of a healthy diet and confidence in the ability to maintain a healthy diet were positively correlated with maintaining a healthy diet. Intention to visit a doctor, having a regular doctor, satisfaction with the doctor, having confidence in the doctor, and confidence in the ability to ask doctors about health issues were positively correlated with medical adherence (including adhering to medication regimen and seeing a doctor regularly).

ObjectivesThe primary objective of the study was to report the compliance to secondary prevention strategies for coronary artery disease (CAD), such as smoking cessation, weight management, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol control, blood pressure control, glycaemic control, physical activity and cardiovascular drug therapy from a resource-limited setting.DesignAnalytical cross-sectional survey with data collection using questionnaire administered by study personnel.SettingInstitutional—two tertiary care hospitals and two cardiology clinics.ParticipantsPatients in the age group of 30–80 years with documented CAD with a minimum of 1 year and a maximum of 6 years of follow-up after diagnosis.Main outcome measuresThe main outcome measures were the prevalence of individual compliance to secondary prevention strategies for CAD such as smoking cessation, weight management, LDL cholesterol control, blood pressure control, glycaemic control, physical activity and cardiovascular drug therapy. The secondary outcomes were the association of secondary prevention strategies with age, sex, domicile, socioeconomic status, insurance and type of treatment.ResultsWe recruited a total of 1206 patients among whom 879 (72.9%) were males. The median age of patients was 62 (14) years. The compliance to smoking cessation was 93.86% (95% CI 91.66% to 96.06%), ideal body mass index was 63.76% (95% CI 61.05% to 66.47%), blood pressure control was 65.11% (95% CI 62.42% to 67.80%), LDL compliance was 36.50% (95% CI 33.18% to 39.82%), diabetes control was 51.23% (95% CI 46.10% to 56.36%) and adequate physical activity was 39.22% (95% CI 36.46% to 41.98%)respectively. Reported compliance for cardiovascular drugs therapy was 96% for antiplatelets, 89.4% for statins, 68.2% for beta blockers, 37.7% for renin angiotensin aldosterone system blockers, 81.28% for oral hypoglycaemic agents and 22% for insulin therapy.ConclusionCompliance to secondary prevention strategies for CAD in resource limited settings are moderate. This needs further improvement for better outcomes related to CAD in future.

Stroke adalah suatu penyakit cerebrovascular dimana terjadinya gangguan fungsi otak yang berhubungan dengan penyakit pembuluh darah yang mensuplai darah ke otak. Seperempat dari seluruh kejadian stroke adalah stroke. Faktor yang mempengaruhi stroke diantaranya kebiasaan meminum kopi, perilaku merokok, kurangnya aktifitas fisik, tidak melakukan kontrol tekanan darah secara rutin,  dan stres. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor risiko yang mempengaruhi kejadian stroke di RS PKU Muhammadiyah Sruweng. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode korelasional dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah 38 pasien yang diambil secara simple random sampling. Instrumen berupa lembar kuesioner. Data dianalisa menggunakan analisa deskriptif dan korelatif menggunakan uji chi square. Hasil penelitian didapatkan tidak ada pengaruh kebiasaan meminum kopi dan merokok dengan kejadian stroke. Ada pengaruh pengaruh aktifitas fisik, kontrol tekanan darah secara rutin, dan stres dengan kejadian stroke. Penelitian selanjutnya dapat dikembangkan dengan melakukan penelitian intervensi seperti memberikan penyuluhan terkait cara meningkatkan aktifitas fisik, dan menurunkan stres serta keteraturan minum obat.  Kata kunci: faktor risiko, aktifitas fisik, tekanan darah, stres, stroke THE RISK FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE INCIDENCE OF STROKE   ABSTRACT Stroke is a cerebrovascular disease in which the occurrence of brain function disorders associated with vascular disease that supplies blood to the brain. A quarter of all stroke events are strokes. Factors affecting stroke include coffee drinking habits, smoking behavior, lack of physical activity, not exercising routine blood pressure control, and stress. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors that influence the incidence of stroke in PKU Muhammadiyah Sruweng Hospital. This study uses a correlational method with a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study was 38 patients taken by simple random sampling. The instrument was in the form of a questionnaire sheet. Data were analyzed using descriptive and correlative analysis using chi square test. The results showed there was no effect of the habit of drinking coffee and smoking with the incidence of stroke. There is an influence of physical activity, routine blood pressure control, and stress with the incidence of stroke. Further research can be developed by conducting intervention studies such as providing counseling related to how to increase physical activity, and reduce stress and regular medication.  Keywords: risk factors, physical activity, blood pressure, stress, stroke

Non-optimal blood pressure is the leading cause of death globally, and each year is responsible for seven million deaths. Current therapeutic strategies for hypertension are mainly based on lifestyle interventions and pharmacological approaches, but rates of blood pressure control remain unsatisfactory and additional options are required. In this context, novel device-based approaches specifically targeting the sympathetic nervous system as a major player in blood pressure control have recently been tested clinically with promising results. Device-based approaches may provide additional and more effective treatment of hypertension and its adverse consequences in the future.
