Data analysis used Rank Spearman. Results: The results showed that measurement of diastolic blood pressure has an average of 88.75 mmHg. The amount of pesticide (p=0,007; r=0,455) had an influence with diastolic blood pressure, positive correlation, the strenght of correlation was enough and the amount of PPE (p=0,034; r=-0,36) had an influence with diastolic blood pressure, negative correlation, the strenght of correlation was enough Conclusions: From this study can be concluded that the amount of pesticide and the amount of PPE affected the diastolic blood pressure in farmers in Bumen Village, Sumowono District, Semarang Regency. }, issn = {2597-4378}, pages = {27--32} doi = {10.14710/jphtcr.v1i1.3552}, url = {https://ejournal2.undip.ac.id/index.php/jphtr/article/view/3552} }
