KORELASI RASIO LINGKAR PINGGANG PANGGUL (RLPP) TERHADAP PROFIL LIPID PADA PRA-GERIATRI DAN GERIATRI
Abstract: Abnormality of lipid
profile is one of cardiovascular risk factors which increases with aging.
Anthropometric measurement is one of the predictors of abnormal lipid profile
without invasive methods and affordable cost. One of the anthropometric measurements
that could be used as a predictor is waist to hip ratio (WHR). The aim of this
study was to determine the correlation between WHR with abnormality of lipid
profile which were related to total cholesterol, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL),
High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), and triglyceride (TG) in pre-geriatrics and
geriatrics group. This study was analytical observational with cross sectional
design. Statistical analysis used Kolmogorov-Smirnov followed bivariable
analysis with confidence interval (CI) 95%. The correlation statistical test
used Pearson and Spearman. The results showed no statistically significant
correlation between WHR with total cholesterol (r=-0.054, p > 0.05), LDL
(r=-0.047, p > 0.05), TG (r=0.018, p > 0.05), and HDL (r=0.016, p >
0.05).
