Analysis of Factors Affecting Public Health Status in Pidie Aceh District

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the health status of the community in Pidie District, Aceh, with a focus on the impact of education, income, access to health services, and healthy lifestyles. The method used is a quantitative approach through a survey involving samples from various community groups in the area. The results of the study indicate that the level of education has a significant influence on the community's understanding of the importance of a healthy lifestyle and disease prevention. In addition, family income also plays an important role in determining their ability to access health services and nutritious food. Limited access to health facilities in rural areas and unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as lack of physical activity and poor diet, contribute to worsening the health status of the community. Based on these findings, it is recommended to strengthen health education programs, increase access to health services in remote areas, and encourage healthy lifestyles through community programs. Strengthening health infrastructure and promoting nutritious diets and regular exercise are also key steps to improve the health status of the community in Pidie District. This study is expected to be a reference in formulating more effective and equitable health policies.
