Abstract

The prevalence rate of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) tends to increase in various parts of the world. T2D is characterized by high blood glucose level, and currently among the top diseases affecting millions of people in the world. T2D is a chronic disease that is prone to various complications, one of which is diabetic neuropathy and foot ulcers. T2D is more common in the elderly who primarily stayed home, so access, quality and maintenance to adequate housing are important for diabetic patients in managing diabetes routines and diet. This research is a cross-sectional analytic study. Participants in this study were selected purposively from geriatric health post at Community Health Center in Sempaja, Samarinda, Indonesia. The variables studied were the physical condition of the house based on healthy house questionnaire from the Indonesian Ministry of Health, and the status of diabetes of the patient. The results showed that only 8.6% (n = 5) of T2D patients had unhealthy house while 15.5% (n = 9) of those without T2D had unhealthy house. No association between physical environment conditions between house of T2D patients and those without T2D was found (p = 0.1664). Nonetheless, significant differences were found on the component of the healthy house score: the housing score (p = 0.0243) and sanitation score (p = 0.00730; no significance was found on the behavior score (p = 0.1240).
