Abstract

BACKGROUND: As a country with various cultures, Indonesia has several regional specialties, one of which is Pork Se’i from East Nusa Tenggara. Studies showed that higher intake of red and processed meat was significantly associated with an increased risk for incident chronic kidney disease (CKD). AIM: This study was conducted with the goal to find out the relationship between consumption of Pork Se’i and water intake with CKD among patient in RSUD W.Z. Johannes, Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. METHODS: This research was an observational study with a case–control design involving 92 respondents at W.Z Hospital Johannes in the period of July 2020. The determination of consumption of Pork Se’i and water was acquired through the use of Semi Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire as an instrument. Chi-square test was used as a statistical test for this study. RESULTS: In the case group, more than half of the respondents (58.7%) were male, while in the control group, more than half of the respondents (60.9%) were female. More than half (58.7%) of case group respondents consume water <1 L/day. More than half (58.7%) of case group respondents consume water <1 L/day, while most of the control group respondents (73.9%) consumed 1 L of water/day. The Pearson Chi-square test showed significant relationship between water consumption and CKD (p = 0.003). The frequency of consumption of Pork Se’i in the case group respondents was mostly in the sometimes (47.8%) and usually (47.8%) categories. Only a small proportion of case respondents (4.3%) rarely consume Pork Se’i. There was a significant relationship between consumption of Pork Se’i with CKD (p = 0.014). CONCLUSIONS: Our study found that consumption of Pork Se’i has a significant correlation with CKD.
