Latar Belakang: Penyakit Arteri Perifer (PAP) merupakan gangguan suplai darah
ke ekstremitas atas atau bawah karena adanya sumbatan atau obstruksi. Keadaan
seperti obesitas, kebiasaan merokok, diabetes melitus, obesitas, hipertensi dan
kolesterol tinggi merupakan faktor resiko PAP. Menurut Journal of American Heart
Association, orang dengan obesitas memiliki 1,5 kali risiko lebih tinggi terhadap
PAP. Belum banyak penelitian mengenai hubungan obesitas dengan PAP pada
masyarakat Indonesia khususnya di Kota Cirebon.
Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan obesitas dengan Penyakit Arteri Perifer (PAP) di
Puskesmas Sitopeng Kota Cirebon.
Metode: Penelitian ini bersifat analitik observasional dengan pendekatan cross
sectional. Pengambilan data menggunakan teknik consecutive sampling pada 45
orang obesitas dan 45 orang tidak obesitas berumur 40-60 tahun. Pengambilan
sampel obesitas diukur dengan Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) dan sampel PAP diukur
dengan ankle brachial index (ABI). Data diuji menggunakan analisis statistik uji
Chi-Square.
Hasil: Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan sebanyak 25,6% pasien obesitas memiliki
PAP 7,8% pada pasien non obesitas. Hasil hubungan antara obesitas dengan faktor
risiko PAP menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan (p = 0,000) dengan nilai
koefisien kontingensi (c = 0,000).
Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara obesitas dengan faktor
risiko penyakit arteri perifer (PAP).
Kata Kunci: Penyakit Arteri Perifer (PAP), obesitas.

Background: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is an obstruction of blood supply to
the upper or lower extremities. Some risk factors widely known for PAD are
smoking, diabetes mellitus, obesity, hypertension and high cholesterol level.
According to Journal of American Heart Association, obesity has increased the risk
factor of PAD by 1.5 times. Research and studies on the association between obesity
and PAD are still hardly found in Indonesia, specifically in Cirebon City.
Aim: To discover the association between obesity and the risk factor of peripheral
artery disease (PAD) in Sitopeng Public Health Center Work Area, Cirebon City.
Method: An analytic observational with a cross-sectional study was performed in
this study. 90 patients were recruited and divided into 2 groups based on their
weight: 45 patients with obesity and 45 patients with no obesity aged 40-60. Obesity
was calculated with Body Mass Index (BMI) and PAD was calculated with ankle
brachial index (ABI). Data were tested with Chi-Square statistic analysis.
Result: PAD was found in 25.6% of patients with obesity and 7.8% compared to
patients with no obesity. The statistic analysis test showed a significant result p =
0.000 (p < 0.005) and coefficient contingency c = 0.000.
Conclusion: Obesity was significantly associated with the risk factor of PAD.
Keyword: Peripheral artery disease (PAD), obesity.
