Cardiovascular disease was a disease with impaired function of the heart and blood vessels. Cardiovascular disease was more common in women. Postmenopausal women have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease than premenopausal women. This is because postmenopausal women lack the hormone estrogenin regulating lipid metabolism factors. Decreased production of the hormone estrogen will cause changes in the lipid profile in the blood. Several studies have shown that assessment with the Atherogenic Index (IA) is a good predictor of cardiovascular disease. The atherogenic index was obtained by calculating the TG/HDL-C log. This assessment proved to be more sensitive in assessing the risk of cardiovascular disease compared to the respective lipid profile calculations. This study aimed to compare the profile of the Atherogenic Index in premenopausal women with menopause. This research used the Cross-Sectional Study research method which was presented in the form of data, tables, and narratives. The study results on each 40 menopausal and premenopausal women respectively showed that the comparison value of the atherogenic index in the two categories of subjects was <0.05 (0.00). This showed that there is a significant difference in the mean atherogenic index between postmenopausal and premenopausal women.
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a dangerous disease with prevalence in Indonesia, including South Sulawesi, until now it has reached 3.4% of the total population. Prediabetes is an early condition for diabetes where blood glucose levels are above normal levels. One of the factors that are most closely related to the incidence of prediabetes is obesity which is also a problem currently faced at the age of children and adolescents. One way to detect a disturbance in glucose metabolism is the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (TTGO).Objective: This study aims to determine the incidence of prediabetes in obese students. Methods: The study design was analytical descriptive, analyzing the test variables of OGTT as a prediabetes screening in the obese. The population was all active students of Megarezky University who were obese obtained by purposive sampling technique. Results: Based on the research result of 40 respondents, after the measured levels of GDP and two-hour glucose levels after oral glucose administration (postprandial), obtained a mean grade of respondents OGTT was 120,45 mg/dl and 8 (20%) of whom had an abnormal OGTT level ( 140-199 mg/dl). Conclusion: It reveals that the eight respondents experienced impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and prediabetes. Obese people should begin to keep a balance between intake and energy expended to avoid Diabetes Mellitus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
