KORELASI RASIO LINGKAR PINGGANG PANGGUL (RLPP) TERHADAP PROFIL LIPID PADA PRA-GERIATRI DAN GERIATRI

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).
