Abstract

Abstract: Senile cataract is the most common form of cataract in old age, especially over 50 years old. Besides age, environment and geographic status can influence the occurence and development of senile cataract. This study aimed to compare the prevalence of cataract between patients living in coastal areas and in mountainous areas. This was a descriptive analytical study with a cross sectional design using data of the medical record. The results showed that the total samples were 66 patients; 55 patients (88.3%) living in mountainous areas and 11 patients (16.7%) in coastal areas. The Mann-Whitney U test showed a P value of 1.000. Conclusion: There was no significant difference in senile cataract prevalence between patients living in coastal areas and those living in mountainous areas.

Keywords: senile cataract, coastal areas, mountain areas

Selain faktor usia, lingkungan, dan tempat tinggal/geografis dapat memengaruhi terjadinya dan kecepatan perkembangan katarak senilis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbandingan prevalensi penderita katarak senilis di daerah pantai dan di daerah pegunungan. Jenis penelitian ini deskriptif analitik dengan desain potong lintang menggunakan data rekam medik. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan total sampel sebanyak 66 orang. Sebanyak 55 orang (83,3%) berasal dari daerah pegunungan dan sebanyak 11 orang (16,7%) dari daerah pantai. Hasil Mann-Whitney U Test menunjukkan nilai signifikansi P = 1,000. Simpulan: Tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna dalam prevalensi katarak senilis di daerah pantai dan di daerah pegunungan.
