Chronic condition risk factors – systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP), body mass index (BMI), and tobacco use – among women in four major cities in Indonesia (Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan, and Bandung) were compared against other cities. Fractional polynomial regression models were applied to examine the association between living in the major cities and SBP, DBP, BMI, and tobacco use. The models were also adjusted for age, education, employment status, migration status, ethnic groups, and religion. The patterns of SBP, DBP, and BMI were plotted and contrasted between groups of cities. Results: Chronic condition prevalence was higher for women in major cities than in contrasting cities (p<0.005). Living in major cities increased the risk of having higher SBP, DBP, BMI and being a current smoker. Chronic disease risk factors in major cities were evident from younger ages. Conclusions: Women residing in Indonesia’s major cities have a higher risk of developing chronic conditions, starting at younger ages. The findings highlight the challenges inherent in providing long-term healthcare with its associated cost within major Indonesian cities and the importance of chronic disease prevention programmes targeting women at an early age.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:43:11 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28300 Thu 28 Oct 2021 13:03:57 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34722 Thu 17 Mar 2022 14:34:49 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28299 Thu 04 Nov 2021 10:39:07 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25876 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:25:54 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23387 15 years in urban Indonesia. We compared the prevalence, predicted socioeconomic factors, the gender inequalities, and the contributing factors to the inequalities. Women had a higher risk of obesity and hypercholesterolemia and raised blood pressure in later life (P <.001). In contrast, men had a higher risk of being a current smoker and raised blood pressure at younger age (P <.001). The gender inequalities in hypertension, obesity, and hypercholesterolemia can be accounted for by disparities in socioeconomic factors between men and women, particularly involvement in paid work. However, the inequalities were also accounted for by different effects of the socioeconomic factors in men and women. Gender is interlinked with socioeconomic and biological factors in determining health. This emphasizes the need of gender responsive policies to control and prevent chronic disease.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:57 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34279 Mon 25 Feb 2019 14:55:14 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33346 Fri 15 Oct 2021 10:59:31 AEDT ]]>
