Anemia merupakan masalah kesehatan global yang dapat menyerang semua kalangan. Prevalensi anemia secara global adalah sebesar 24,8%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan antara kadar polutan dalam darah dengan kejadian anemia pada warga DAS Citarum, Jawa Barat. Desain studi yang digunakan adalah cross sectional dengan menggunakan data sekunder dari penelitian INDOHUN yang diambil pada tahun 2018. Hubungan polutan Hg, Pb, Cd, dan Cr dengan anemia dianalisis menggunakan uji Chi-square dengan nilai kemaknaan α 0,05 dan interval kepercayaan 95%. Dari 162 subyek yang didapat, ditemukan 16,7% (n=27) menderita anemia dan 17,3% (n=28) terdeteksi logam berat (Hg/Pb/Cd/Cr) dalam tubuh. Hasil analisis menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan signifikan (P=1,000) antara polutan Hg, Pb, Cd, dan Cr dengan anemia. Hingga saat ini, belum ada studi yang secara spesifik melihat hubungan antara polutan Hg, Pb, Cd, dan Cr di air dengan risiko anemia. Anemia is a global health problem that can affect all population. The global prevalence of anemia is 24,8%. Diagnosis of anemia is confirmed by the measurement of hemoglobin concentration. According to the WHO, the hemoglobin cutoff assigned for the diagnosis of anemia was <13 g/dL for men and <11.6 g/dL for women. This study aims to determine the relationship between levels of pollutants in the blood and the incidence of anemia in residents near the Citarum River, West Java. This is a cross sectional study that uses secondary data from INDOHUN’s main research taken in 2018. The relationship between pollutants and anemia is measured by doing chi-square test with α equal to 0,05 and 95% confidence interval. Out of 162 subjects obtained, 16,7% (n=27) was detected to have anemia and 17,3% (n=28) was detected to have heavy metal (Hg/Pb/Cd/Cr) in their body. The results of this study showed that there was no significant relationship (P=1,000) of the Hg, Pb, Cd, and Cr pollutants with anemia. To date, no study has specifically looked at the relationship between Hg, Pb, Cd, and Cr pollutants in water and the risk of anemia. |
