The conclusion is the influence of long standing factors, age, obesity and the use of high heels on VVTB in elementary school teachers in Securai Selatan Village, Babalan Subdistrict, Langkat Regency in 2019. The research suggestion is that teachers are expected to prevent VVTB by minimizing the work of teachers who are dominated by standing length of time in teaching and limiting the use of high heels to less than or equal to 5 cm because the use of shoes more than 5 cm is easier for potential varicose veins in the lower limbs</em></p>}, number={1}, journal={JURNAL KESMAS DAN GIZI (JKG)}, author={Sabputra, Riyan and Siregar, Santy Deasy and Ginting, Rapael}, year={2019}, month={Oct.}, pages={101–108} }
