Ultra-Processed Food Consumption Patterns and Sedentary Lifestyle Associated with Hypertension among Adults Aged 35−54 Years

Abstract

Hypertension is a major public health concern among adults, and lifestyle factors such as ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption and sedentary behavior may contribute to elevated blood pressure. This study aimed to analyze the association between UPF consumption patterns and sedentary lifestyle with hypertension among adults aged 35 to 54 years in the working area of the Sumbersari Primary Health Center, Jember Regency. An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 100 adults selected through purposive sampling. Data on UPF consumption over the past 3 months were collected using a Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), while sedentary behavior over the past week was assessed using the Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ). Blood pressure was measured twice using a digital sphygmomanometer at 5-minute intervals. Hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure ≥ 130 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure ≥ 80 mmHg. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test. UPF consumption frequency was significantly associated with hypertension (p = 0.008; OR = 3.33, 95% CI: 1.45–7.69). Significant associations were also observed for UPF consumption amount (p = 0.004) and sedentary lifestyle (p = 0.018). These findings indicate that UPF consumption patterns and sedentary lifestyle are relevant factors in hypertension prevention among adults aged 35 to 54 years. Promoting healthier food choices and reducing sedentary behavior may support hypertension prevention in this population.
