Abstract :
Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) is the type of lipoprotein that carries the most cholesterol in the body. Smoking habits are one of the factors that can cause an increase in LDL cholesterol levels, where nicotine which is one of the elements in cigarettes stimulates catacholamines secretion, increases lipolysis, and increases free fatty acids. Excessive levels of LDL cholesterol in the blood will increase the risk of cholesterol buildup on the walls of the arteries followed by atherosclerosis. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between smoking habits and LDL levels, and to determine LDL levels in men of productive age based on the number of cigarettes consumed per day. This research is an observational analytic study with a cross sectional approach and uses an enzymatic examination method for LDL levels. The population in this study were men of reproductive age in Tengklik Karangbangun, Matesih Karanganyar hamlet. The sample in this study amounted to 32 samples that matched the inclusion and exclusion criteria who were willing to become respondents. The data were analyzed using the Kruskal Wallis test through the SPSS version 23 program. The results of the research analyzed obtained a p value of (0.000). In this study, based on the results of statistical tests carried out, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between smoking habits and LDL levels in men of productive age in Tengklik Karangbangun Matesih Hamlet, Karanganyar Regency.
