Hubungan C-Reaktif Protein dan Kondisi Udara Tercemar PM10 Dengan Lama Menetap Lansia (Studi Kasus di Kelurahan Kampung Lalang Kota Medan Tahun 2013)
Abstract: The decrease in air
quality has long been a public health problem, particularly in the industrialized
countries that has many factories and motor vehicles. The high level of air
pollution in the city will affect human health in the city, and will ultimately
reduce the quality of human life. The Medan city air quality periods 2011-2012 recorded data show that at Terminal Pinang
Baris passed the quality standard of 150 μg/m3 for PM10 according to national
standar in PP.No.41 1999. There is still plenty of evidence of the extent to
which exposure to particulate matter is associated with changes in the level of
systemic inflammation in the general population in the city of Medan. Exposure
to air pollution is associated with increased levels of C-Reactive Protein
(CRP) is believed to trigger systemic inflammation. Particle Matter (PM10) is
the pollutant in the air resulting from the activity of motor vehicles, has a
relationship with an increase in C-Reactive Protein. Ultimately will lead to
various diseases in humans at all age levels. In cross-sectional study was
conducted on 50 elderly volunteers who have been residing more than 3 years and
close to the center of the air pollution in the this location. After obtaining
approval from the ethics committee, then covers anamneses examination, physical
examination and venous blood samples for CRP concentrations examined in the
laboratory. Research result show that there are relationship between long-time
resident with increasing concentrations of CRP for the elderly with statistical
chi-square test and Fischer exact test. It is implies that this case enhancement
factors for coronary heart disease risk in elderly residing in the study area.
