Relationship between Larva Free Index (LFI) and healthy house with DHF incidence rate in Banyuwangi Regency, 2022

Abstract

Dengue hemorrhagic fever is one of society's most frequent health issues, causing various health issues. DHF is the most frequent infectious illness in Indonesia, with many cause variables, such as LFI and healthy households, influencing the frequency of DHF cases. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between the Larvae Free Index and healthy houses with the incidence rate of DHF in Banyuwangi Regency in 2022. This research is a cross-sectional study using secondary data obtained from relevant agencies. Variables included dengue incidence rate (DHF IR), Larvae Free Index (LFI), and healthy houses in Banyuwangi Regency in 2022. Data analysis was conducted using the Pearson Correlation Test to determine the relationship between variables. Mapping and descriptive analysis were also performed on the data to provide an overview of case conditions. The results showed that ABJ (p-value = 0.506) had no significant relationship with DHF IR. Similarly, healthy houses (p-value=0.992) also did not have a relationship with the DHF IR in the Banyuwangi regency in 2022. This condition may occur because there is a possibility that the variables studied do not directly affect the DHF IR, but there are also other variables that support it. Despite the lack of a significant association, it is vital to continue monitoring activities connected to LFI and healthy houses to enhance health status and DHF prevention in the community.
