Correlation of Three Anthropometric Parameters with the Percentage of Body Fat and Visceral Fat in the Productive Age Group
Abstract
Currently, obesity is a problem for both developed and developing countries. Obesity nutritional status is associated with body fat levels, central obesity and is associated with various diseases This study analyzes the correlation between body mass index, waist circumference, and the ratio of waist to hip to body fat percentage and visceral fat based on gender. An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design, involving sixty-three employees aged 19-60 years in February 2021. Subject characteristics data were collected using a questionnaire, in addition to physical examination to obtain anthropometric data in the form of weight, height, waist circumference, hip circumference. Data on the percentage of body fat and visceral fat were obtained using the Mi body composition digital tool. The Pearson's correlation test was used for analysis and the significance level used was 0.05. A total of 49.2 % of subjects were categorized as obese based on body mass index. In the male group, there was a strong and significant positive correlation between BMI, WC, with the percentage of body fat and visceral fat with p =0.000. However, in female subjects, a significant positive correlation was found between BMI, WC, with visceral fat in women with p = 0.000. BMI, WC, and WHR correlated strongly with body fat and visceral fat levels in men. In the female group, BMI and WC were strongly correlated with visceral fat.
