Association of Body Composition and Anthropometric Measurement with Hypertension among Workers in Universitas Ahmad Dahlan

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the relationship between anthropometric and body composition measurement with the risk of hypertension among office workers. Methodology:This study was a cross-sectional study in office workers population in Universitas Ahmad Dahlan. The subjects of the study were 125 persons (72 males and 53 females) aged 20 -60 years. The measurement of anthropometry was using an electronic digital scale for weight, microtoise for height, and meter line for waist circumference. In analysing body composition such as total body fat and visceral fat, we were using Bioelectrical Impendence Analyzer (BIA) Body Composition Monitor Omron Karada Scan HBF-375. Blood pressure was measured by an automatic blood pressure monitor OMRON HEM-7120. Hypertension was classified if the blood pressure of systolic ≥140 and diastolic ≥90. The association between risk factors variables and hypertension status was analysed by chi-square test and multiple logistic regression. Results:The prevalence of hypertension was found 18.6% in male and 13.21% in female. All risk factors were similar between male and female (p>0.05). Body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio (WHtR), and total body fat were not statistically significant with hypertension status (p>0.05). The statistically significant risk factors of hypertension only found in waist circumference and visceral fat (p=0.036; p=0.002). Results of multivariate analysis, visceral fat remains significant in predicting hypertension, with 4.87 times higher risk of having hypertension in workers if having high visceral fat (95% CI 1.722-13.7831) Applications/Originality/Value: This study shows that the prevalence of pre-hypertension and hypertension among workers were high. Thus, controlling modifiable risk factors is very important. Maintain the waist circumference and visceral fat in normal range with proper healthy lifestyle were needed especially in office workers.

The Effectiveness of the Weight Training Method and Rest Interval on VO₂ max, Flexibility, Muscle Strength, Muscular Endurance, and Fat Percentage in Students

“…The detail of the instrument can be seen in table 1 below. Each of the exercise methods has been previously validated for reliability in separate studies [47]. Test-retest reliability scores for each instrument revealed very good consistency with MFT, r=0.88; sit and reach test, r=0.89; sit up and push up, r=0.94 and r=0.95 respectively; leg and back dynamometer, r=0.90; and Omron karada scan body composition, r=0.99.…”

Psychosocial stress, food preferences, and screen time with nutritional status of women of reproductive age in Sukamulya Village, Tangerang Regency

“…BMI is categorized into two categories, normal and abnormal (underweight and obese), according to the classification of the nutritional status of Indonesians by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, where the nutritional status is underweight if the BMI <18.5 kg/m 2 , 18.5-25.0 kg/m 2 is normal, and obese if the BMI value is >25.0 kg/m 2 . 15 Psychosocial Stress Assessment Instrument (IPSP) used to measure level of stress psychosocial. This questionnaire consists of 35 events experienced during the last six months and one additional blank item (number 36) if there is another event that participants can mention themselves.…”

“…The sum of the scores is interpreted into seven categories. These categories are: not experiencing stress (0); experiencing low or little stress (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8); being mild stress (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16); moderate stress (25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33); high stress (25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33); very high stress (34-40); and catastrophic stress (>41). Based on these seven categories, they were further categorized into two major categories: stress and non-stress.…”

The Relationship of Breakfast Habits, Coffee Consumption, and Sleep Duration with Obesity Incidence in University Students

“…Overnutrition at each period of the life cycle has an adverse impact as a risk of several noncommunicable diseases (NCD) such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and cancer. In the study of Utami et al (2020), it was stated that respondents who were obese based and visceral fat tended to have higher blood pressure. Moreover, it was found that a higher BMI affected the incidence of type II diabetes mellitus (Isnaini & Ratnasari, 2018).…”
