Abstract

Cataracts are still one of the causes of blindness in the world. Indonesia is known as the highest cataract prevalence in the Southeast Asia. Therefore, early detection is very important to reduce the incidence of cataracts thereby increasing quality of life, especially in elderly. We aimed to analyze risk factors of cataract occurence at the Sumberasih Public Health Center. A restropective analytical study was conducted with a total of 100 samples that devided equally into cataract group and control group. The data was analyzed using SPSS program. Most cataract subjects are women (62,00%) and pre-elderly (40,00%) with the majority working exposed to UV sun rays (60,00%), cigarettes (78,00%) and having abnormal body mass index (58,00%). We obtained that gender, UV exposure based on occupation, hypertension history, cigarette exposure and body mass index were significantly correlated to cataract occurence, respectively p=0,009, p=0,016, p=0,037, p<0,001 and p=0,045. The Chi-square test results p<0,025 were followed by logistic refression and gender was the most influential risk factor of cataract occurence, approximately 4,050 times (CI 95%: 1,427 – 11,498). Risk factors discovered as early as possible can prevent cataracts from occuring in the future. We pleased that this study can be carried out in multicenter health services in Probolinggo Regency throughout Indonesia.
