Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is currently a major public health issue worldwide. The global prevalence of diabetes mellitus in 2019 was estimated at 9.3% and will increase to 10.9% in 2040. Peripheral arterial disease is an important complication of diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus patients with peripheral arterial disease have a high morbidity and mortality rate. Therefore, early detection of peripheral arterial disease in diabetic patients is critical. This research aimed at detecting early peripheral arterial disease in patients at the Gatak Sukoharjo Health Center, Central Java. The subjects of this study were 65 prolanis participants at the Gatak Sukoharjo Health Center, Central Java, consisting of 54 (83.1%) women and 11 (16.9%) men, with an average age of 62 years. The majority of these patients who develop peripheral arterial disease are women in the middle age with abnormal fasting blood sugar levels, putting them at risk of developing peripheral arterial disease. Patients and families show high enthusiasm when the researchers provided education concerning the results of the detection of peripheral arterial disease. This activity is beneficial in increasing diabetes mellitus patients’ knowledge, particularly in terms of blood sugar control, prevention, and management of peripheral arterial disease.
