An analytic observational study with a case-control design was conducted at Puskesmas Oesao from May to June 2023. A total of 213 respondents were recruited using random sampling with a 1:2 ratio. Data was collected through interviews. The relationship between various factors and dyspepsia incidence was analyzed using p- values with alpha <0.05 as the significance threshold.

Alcohol consumption was significantly associated with dyspepsia (p < 0.05). Sour and spicy foods were significantly associated with dyspepsia (p < 0.05).
