Abstract:
Introduction: The Basic Health Research of the Ministry of Health Indonesia in
2008 reported that the single most important cause of death was stroke, in both
urban and rural populations. The risk factors underlying the cause of death are
associated with hypertension, obesity and dyslipidemia. The purpose of thi s
study was to determine the mean intake of trans fatty acids and its relation to
dyslipidemia in a sample of Indonesian adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study
was conducted on a total of 180 adult male and female respondents aged 35-60
years living in rural and urban areas of Depok city, West Java. Dietary intake
was assessed by means of 24-hour recall and semi-quantitative FFQ. Results: The
mean intake of trans fatty acids was 0.48% of total calories (urban 0.40% and rural
0.55%). The prevalence of dyslipidemia in the rural and urban subjects were
61.1% and 66.7%, respectively. There was a statistically significant relationship
between trans fatty acids intake and hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia.
Conclusion: The intake of trans fatty acid among the Indonesian
adults studied was half the recommended level. The high prevalence of
dyslipidemia found indicates the need for intervention to reduce the rising
incidence of cardiovascular diseases in Indonesia
