Korelasi Tebal Lemak Bawah Kulit Area Trisep dengan Tekanan Darah Diastolik Pada Remaja Obesitas

Abstract

Background: uncontrolled Increasing in weight gain will cause obesity in adolescent. According to RISKESDAS data, the national prevalence of obesity in male population aged 15 years increased from 2007 to 2010. Based on several studies, subcutaneous fat measurements are better at detecting obesity. Subcutaneous fat is considered a parameter for risk of cardiovascular disease compared to visceral fat.

Research Objectives: To know how the correlation between subcutaneous skinfold of the triceps area and diastolic blood pressure in obese adolescents. Research Methods: 80 obese adolescents aged 16-18 measured the thickness of fat under their skin and measured their blood pressure. The value of subcutaneous skinfold was the mean value of the left and right triceps area. Subcutaneous skinfold was measured using skinfold caliper. Measurement of diastolic blood pressure was measured using a digital spigmomanometer. To see the correlation, Pearson test was done normally or Spearman test if the data was not normally distributed. Results: The mean value of thick subcutaneous fat in adolescent boys aged 16 years was 21.73 + 5.75 mm; while at the age of 17 years 21.5 + 5.09 mm. The mean value of thick fat under the skin in obese adolescent girls aged 16 years was 19.2 + 3.57 mm while the age of 17 years was 18.89 + 5.03 mm. The mean value of diastolic blood pressure in adolescent boys aged 16 years was 80.3 + 7 mmHg while at 17 years old 75.62 + 6.35 mmHg. The mean value of diastolic blood pressure in adolescent girls aged 16 years was 70.62 + 5.71 mmHg while at 17 years of age 71.49 + 7.09 mmHg. Based on the Spearman correlation test there was no correlation between the thickness of the sub-cutaneous fat with (p = 0.266). Conclusion: There is no correlation between thick fat under the skin with diastolic blood pressure in obese adolescents Keywords: Thick subcutaneous fat, sub cutaneous, diastolic blood pressure
