STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF DENGUE FEVER (DF) DATA IN CENTRAL JAVA IN 2024

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted through the bite of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. This disease remains a major public health problem in many tropical regions, including Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the spatial distribution pattern of DHF cases in several districts of Central Java Province in 2024, namely Banyumas, Klaten, Kendal, Boyolali, and Grobogan. The research method used is a descriptive analysis with a spatial approach based on statistical data of DHF cases in each region. The results show that Banyumas Regency has the highest number of cases at 100.50, followed by Klaten with 92.50 cases, Kendal with 87.40 cases, Boyolali with 85.50 cases, and Grobogan with the lowest number of cases at 77.40. The differences in case numbers among regions are influenced by several factors, including environmental conditions, population density, rainfall, environmental sanitation, and community awareness in mosquito breeding site control. Efforts to control DHF should be carried out through integrated approaches such as strengthening mosquito breeding eradication programs, implementing the 3M Plus movement, increasing community education, and improving health surveillance systems. Spatial analysis is expected to provide an overview of the distribution patterns of DHF cases and support the development of more effective prevention and control strategies.
