<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Skin hydration is influenced by various factors. Blood glucose levels are also known to affect the protective function of the skin. This cross-sectional study aims to investigate the profile of skin hydration status and its correlation with blood glucose levels among subjects at RW 08 Cipondoh. Skin hydration status measurements were done using an Over The Counter (OTC) skin analyzer. Blood glucose levels were measured using Point of Care Testing (POCT) Out of 101 respondents, the average age was 51.38 years with 75.2% of the respondents were female. The mean blood glucose was 122.71 mg/dL. The mean oil and water hydration were 22.99% and 42.96%, respectively. The data showed a negative correlation between blood glucose and water hydration, with a correlation coefficient power of 0.319 significantly, and between blood glucose and oil hydration, with 0.236 significantly. This study concludes that higher blood glucose levels was associated with worse skin hydration status. Keywords : Blood glucose, Hydration Status ABSTRAK Kelembaban kulit dipengaruhi oleh banyak faktor. Kadar gula darah merupakan salah satu faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi fungsi kelembaban kulit. Penelitian potong lintang ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran status hidrasi kulit dan korelasinya dengan kadar gula darah pada komunitas yang tinggal di RW 08 Cipondoh. Pengukuran status hidrasi kulit menggunakan alat Over The Counter (OTC) skin analyzer. Kadar gula darah diukur menggunakan Point of Care Testing (POCT). Dari 101 responden, rata-rata usia subjek penelitian adalah 51,38 tahun dengan 75,2% responden adalah perempuan. Rerata gula darah sewaktu (GDS) sebesar 122,71 mg/dL. Rerata hidrasi sebum dan air, masing-masing sebesar 22,99% dan 42,96%. Hasil uji statistik menunjukan hasil korelasi negatif antara GDS dengan hidrasi air sebesar 0,319 secara signifikan dan hidrasi sebum sebesar 0,236 secara signifikan. Penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa semakin tinggi kadar gula darah, maka semakin menurun status hidrasi kulit seseorang. Kata Kunci: Kadar Gula Darah, Kadar Hidrasi]]>
