ABSTRACT: Hand surface area is
considered as 1% of body surface area is used as one way in determining the
extent of burns. There are differences of percentage of hand surface area in
literatures. This study aimed to determine the ratio of hand surface area and
palm surface area towards body surface area in young adults at the University
of Jember based on Body Mass Index (BMI) and sex. This study was observational
analytic with cross sectional approach. The samples were 120 young adults at
the University of Jember, divided into 4 groups of BMI i.e. thin, normal,
overweight, and obese. The analysis used in this study was One Way Anova and
Independent T-test. The average percentage of the hand surface area on male
0.757%, female 0.702%, thin group 0.794%, normal 0.747%, overweight 0.704%, and
obese 0.677%. Test analysis between men and women obtained significance value
<0.05 while between groups of BMI obtained significance value <0.05
except between overweight and obese. It concluded that the percentage of hand
surface area was different between genders and BMI groups. The percentage of
the hand surface area was smaller with an increase of BMI.
