Food waste is still a significant problem, affecting food security, the environment, and the global economy. More than 53% of food produced becomes waste. Food waste worldwide totals 1.3 trillion annually. One of the districts with a high food waste rate is Banyumas. The most significant contributor to waste in the Banyumas region in 2021 was food waste, accounting for 39.85%, with much of it generated by restaurants. Restaurants play an essential role in managing food waste, as most food discarded at the preparation stage cannot be reused. This study aims to analyze the relationship between demographics and food waste reduction to support a digital technology approach from a restaurant perspective. This study used quantitative methods. The respondents of this study were 100 restaurants located in Banyumas, including A La Carte, Ramesan, Tegal, and Padang, and the data were analyzed using ANOVA. The results show that demographic factors, including income, age, restaurant opening hours, and the prices of best-selling foods, influence food waste in restaurants. The recommendation is for restaurants to prepare and plan menus. This will affect food prices, opening hours, and revenue. Some restaurants can increase their knowledge of handling food waste.

Hypertension is one of the leading non-communicable diseases contributing significantly to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite the availability of extensive electronic medical record data in healthcare institutions, these data are often utilized only for administrative reporting rather than predictive analysis. Consequently, opportunities to identify age groups with a higher probability of developing hypertension remain underutilized. This study aims to implement the Naïve Bayes classification algorithm to analyze age distribution and classify the risk of hypertension among patients using healthcare data. The research adopted the Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM) methodology, including business understanding, data understanding, data preparation, modeling, evaluation, and deployment. Patient medical record data consisting of demographic and clinical attributes, including age, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, body weight, gender, and hypertension status, were processed using the Naïve Bayes algorithm. Model performance was evaluated using a confusion matrix by measuring accuracy, precision, recall, specificity, and balanced accuracy. The implementation demonstrates that the Naïve Bayes algorithm is capable of classifying hypertension risk efficiently while providing probabilistic information regarding age groups with a higher tendency to experience hypertension. The resulting classification model offers an effective decision-support tool for healthcare providers in conducting targeted screening, preventive interventions, and evidence-based health planning. The findings also indicate that data mining techniques can transform routinely collected medical records into valuable clinical knowledge for early hypertension prevention and healthcare decision-making.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by persistently high blood sugar levels, which can lead to complications such as diabetic foot issues.
