Relationship of Body Mass Index and Cardiorespiratory Fitness With Metabolic Syndrome Risk in Adolescents

Abstract

Objectives The prevalence of obesity in childhood and adolescence is a major public health problem and has increased dramatically over the last few decades. More attention is needed because it is closely related to some non-communicable diseases and metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation of body mass index and cardiorespiratory fitness to the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in adolescents. Methods The sample of the study was 44 adolescents. This research is an observational analytic study. The sample of this study measured body mass index, cardiorespiratory fitness, and metabolic syndrome through measurement of abdominal circumference, blood pressure, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, and blood fasting glucose. Results The results of the simultaneous test showed that both body mass index and cardiorespiratory fitness had a significant effect on the risk of metabolic syndrome (p = 0.000). The higher BMI tended to have metabolic syndrome 1.746 times higher than not having metabolic syndrome. The propensity of the unfit condition of cardiorespiratory having metabolic syndrome is 4.283 times higher than the one that has the fit condition. This logistic regression model is quite good because it can predict correctly 72.7% of the conditions that occur. Conclusions This study showed that the higher body mass index and cardiorespiratory fitness conditions can be used as predictors of metabolic syndrome in adolescents.

Indeks Massa Tubuh terhadap Tekanan Darah pada Petugas Memadamkan Kebakaran

“…Data dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa setengah dari jumlah petugas pemadam kebakaran sebagai responden (53,6%) ternyata berada dalam kategori berat badan berlebih sampai dengan obesitas. Tentunya kondisi ini akan menggiring individu mengalami sindroma metabolik (Hazmy et al, 2018).…”

Korelasi Pengukuran Antropometrik dengan Kebugaran Kardiorespirasi pada Mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Mataram

“…12,11 Indeks massa tubuh dan kebugaran kardiorespirasi memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap risiko sindrom metabolik dan IMT yang tinggi memiliki kecenderungan 1, 746 kali lebih besar memiliki sindrom metabolik dibandingkan yang memiliki IMT normal. 15 Penelitian tentang korelasi persentase lemak tubuh dengan kebugaran fisik atau daya tahan kardiorespirasi menunjukkan hasil korelasi negatif, artinya semakin tinggi persentase lemak tubuh maka daya tahan kardiorespirasinya semakin rendah [16][17][18][19][20] Hal ini sejalan dengan hasil penelitian ini (r = -0,256; p = 0.020). Konsumsi Oksigen per unit masa tubuh pada orang yang mengalami obesitas akan berkurang secara signifikan akibat jumlah lemak tubuh yang berlebihan, yang selanjutnya dapat memengaruhi fungsi jantung.…”
