Abstract

Abstract: Central obesity plays an important role in the changes of blood circulation that can lead into several chronic diseases. The changes of blood circulation can be detected as earlier as possible by checking the hematocrit levels regularly. This study was aimed to determine the correlation between waist circumference and hematocrit levels in young adult males, This was a descriptive analytical study with a cross sectional design. Respondents were young adult males aged 20-28 years. This study was conducted from October 13 until November 11, 2016. Respondents were 38 young adult males consisting of 27 males with central obesity and 11 males without central obesity. The result of Spearman’s rho analysis of the correlation between waist circumference and hematocrit level resulted in r=0.156 and p=0.350. Conclusion: There was a weak positive correlation between waist circumference and hematocrit levels in young adult males but was not statistically significant.Keywords: central obesity, hematocrit, young adult men. Abstrak: Obesitas sentral berperan penting terhadap terjadinya perubahan aliran darah dalam tubuh manusia yang selanjutnya dapat menimbulkan beberapa penyakit kronik. Perubahan aliran darah dapat dideteksi sedini mungkin dengan melakukan pemeriksaan kadar hematokrit secara teratur. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara lingkar pinggang dengan kadar hematokrit pada laki-laki dewasa muda. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif analitik dengan desain potong lintang. Responden penelitian ialah mahasiswa laki-laki berusia 20-28 tahun. Penelitian ini berlangsung dari tanggal 13 Oktober - 11 November 2016 dengan responden berjumlah 38 orang yang terdiri dari 27 mahasiwa obes sentral dan 11 mahasiswa non-obes sental. Hasil analisis uji Spearman’s rho antara lingkar pinggang dengan kadar hemoglobin dari 38 responden diperoleh koefisien korelasi r = 0,134 dengan nilai p = 0,422. Simpulan: Terdapat hubungan positif lemah yang tidak bermakna antara lingkar perut dan hemoglobin. Kata kunci: obesitas sentral, hematokrit, pria dewasa muda

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of obesity among the population has risen dramatically due to a sedentary lifestyle. Obesity is a risk factor for the incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the prevalence of NAFLD rises to 90% in obese. NAFLD is a clinically silent disease that has become one of the most common causes of liver disease worldwide also due to multiple extrahepatic complications or comorbidities. This study aims to find the association between the Body mass index (BMI) and the incidence of NAFLD. Method: This analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on the 3rd of July 2022 in Boho Village, Samosir District of North Sumatra. The participants were based on a simple random sampling that meets the criteria of inclusion. BMI was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters (kg/m2), meanwhile, we performed an abdominal ultrasound to diagnose NAFLD. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS and using Chi-Square test to see the association between BMI and the incidence of NAFLD. Result: Among of 48 participants, most of them were fatty liver grade 1 (31.25%), and Overweight/Obese (62.5%). The incidence of NAFLD is more prevalent in obese than non-obese participants (p = 0.0001). Conclusion: The most of participants were fatty liver grade 1 (31.25%), and Overweight/Obese (62.5%). There was a significant association between BMI and the incidence of NAFLD
