Hubungan Asupan Energi, Makronutrien dan Status Gizi dengan Kejadian Diabetes Melitus: Association of Energy, Macronutrient Intake and Nutritional Statu with Diabetes Mellitus

Abstrak

Diabetes mellitus is one of the major public health problems with an increasing prevalence and is frequently reported by populations worldwide. Indonesia ranks fifth globally in the number of diabetes mellitus cases, with a total of 19.5 million individuals affected. Dietary patterns, including energy, carbohydrate, protein, and fat intake, as well as nutritional status, play a role in the incidence of diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to determine the relationship between energy, carbohydrate, protein, and fat intake, along with nutritional status, and the incidence of diabetes mellitus at Bahteramas Regional General Hospital, Southeast Sulawesi Province. This research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design. A total of 53 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Bivariate analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square test. The results indicated a significant association between protein intake (p = 0.005) and fat intake (p = 0.013) with the incidence of diabetes mellitus. Conversely, no significant association was found between energy intake (p = 0.814), carbohydrate intake (p = 0.896), and nutritional status (p = 0.301) with the incidence of diabetes mellitus. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to nutrient intake and nutritional status in efforts to prevent and manage diabetes mellitus
