Speed is determined by several factors such as anatomical and physiological factors. Body Mass Index (BMI) is one of an indicator from anthropometric measurement that is relevant to distinguish the capacity and performance of athletes. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between BMI and running speed.  It was an observational research with cross-sectional design of 35 students of Athlete High School in Palembang.  students. The primary data was taken from anthropometric measurements (stature meters, weight scales, meters) and assessment of 50 meters running speed tests. Data analysis was executed by using Pearson or Spearman correlation test in SPSS. The BMI of subjects varied from 17.05 to 27.12 with mean 21.48. The running speed of subjects varied from 5.67 to 8.17 m/s, with an average of 6.78 m/s. The bivariate analysis showed that there was a weak negative correlation between BMI and running speed (r = -0160). There was a weak negative correlation between BMI and running speed  (r = -0160). A negative correlation means that the greater BMI then the less time it takes to run at a distance of 50 meters, in other words, the better performance of athletes.

Abstract: Elderly, Hypertension, Body Mass Index, Waist Circumference and Hip. The problem of hypertension is one of the most common diseases in elderly people. Risk factors that can cause hypertension are obesity and central obesity. That is caused by the lack of appropriateness of eating intake with activity in the elderly are declining. So there is a possibility of normal BMI and RLPP will reduce the risk of hypertension. This study aims to determine IMT and RLPP measurements as a predictor of hypertension. This type of research is observational with cross-sectional design and the number of research subjects is 71 elderly who suffer from hypertension and not hypertension. Sampling using total sampling method. Data analysis was done by univariate and bivariate analysis using chi-square test and logistic regression test. The result of statistic test showed that there was a correlation between body mass index with hypertension 0,002 (p <0,002) and BMI was risk factor proved by RR 2,228 (CI 1,3333,723). There is a relationship between RLPP with hypertension 0.000 (p <0.000) and RLPP is hypertension risk factor with RR value 4,340 (CI 1,896-9,933). The result of BMT logistic regression test is not a predictor of hypertension, but RLPP is a predictor to determine hypertension with the formula Y = -3,614 + 2,285X1. It is advisable for the elderly to maintain normal RLPP in order to reduce the risk of hypertension.

The Obesity and Hypertension are major risk factors of several life threatening diseases in human body. Objectives: To determine correlation coefficient of Body Mass Index with blood pressure: a gender based comparison in medical students. Study Design: Comparative Cross-sectional study in students. Setting: Physiology department of BMU Karachi. Period: Duration of this study was 6 months from February 2017 to August 2017. Material and Methods: A total of 500 students were enrolled in this study. The anthropometric measurement [height (m2) and weight (kg)] was recorded for calculation of the Body Mass Index (BMI) and blood pressure (BP) was measured by using sphygmomanometer with stethoscope. SPSS version 22.0 was used to analyze the data. Results: BMI overall in both genders were significantly (p<0.05) correlated in mean Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and mean Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP). Underweight and Normal weight were not correlated with both mean SBP and mean DBP in both genders. Overweight subjects were positively correlated with mean DBP in males and mean SBP in females (p<0.05). Obese students were not significantly (p>0.05) correlated with both mean SBP and mean DBP in males whereas, there were not enough observations to draw any meaningful conclusion in females. Conclusion: Overweight subjects were positively correlated (p<0.05) with mean DBP in males and mean SBP in females and overall BMI (mean SBP & mean DBP) in both genders.

Background: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) patients are vulnerable to a decreasing nutritional status. Nutritional status is one of the factors that can affect body mass, which correlates with handgrip strength. Purpose: This study aims to describe the body mass index (BMI) and handgrip strength profiles of HIV and AIDS inpatients. Method: A cross-sectional design was used in this observational study. The population were HIV and AIDS inpatients between August and September 2018. The patients were selected using a purposive sampling technique; 16 patients met the inclusion criteria of the study. Primary data were collected via questionnaire and measuring handgrip strength, while secondary data were collected from the patients’ medical records. A descriptive test was used for the analysis. Results: Most of the HIV and AIDS inpatients were male (81.25%), were between 20 and 39 years old (75.00%), were employed (50.00%), had a middle education level (62.50%), had been hospitalized for four to five days (categorized as a short length of stay; 75.00%), had been diagnosed with HIV for five years or more (87.50%), and were in the third HIV clinical stage (68.75%). The HIV and AIDS inpatients had an average BMI of 19.19±2.48 kg/m2; with 18.75% severely underweight patients, 25% mildly underweight patients, and no overweight patients. The average handgrip strength was 20.58±10.6 kg and 43.75% of patients were classified as having a low handgrip strength. Conclusion: Malnutrition still leads to nutritional problems in HIV and AIDS inpatients.

Dysmenorrhea is a problem experienced by more than 50% of women in each country. Pain occurs in the lower abdomen, sometimes accompanied by nausea, vomiting, dizziness and mood changes. This condition causes an increase in absenteeism in school, disruption in learning activities that affects achievements in academic and nonacademic fields. One factor that is often associated with the incidence of dysmenorrhea is an abnormal body mass index (overweight and underweight). This study aims to determine the relationship of body mass index with the degree of pain menstruation (dysmenorrhea) in young women in SMA Negeri 21 Makassar. This research is a descriptive cross-sectional study involving 110 respondents based on the purposive sampling method and carried out in February-March 2019. The data taken is primary data through measurements of body mass index based on body weight and height. After that, a normal, overweight and underweight grouping is done. Measurement of menstrual pain level is done using Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Data analysis was performed using Chi square test and the value of p = 0.00 was obtained. From this results, significant conclusions can be drawn because the value of p < 0.05 indicates that there is a significant relationship between body mass index and degree of menstrual pain (dysmenorrhoea) in young women in SMA Negeri 21 Makassar.

Background: The high MMR in 2015 is a big problem in Indonesia, which is 305 per 100,000 live births (Profile of Indonesian Population Results Supas, 2015). The Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (2012) shows that MMR in Indonesia is still high at 359 per 100,000 KH. This rate is slightly decreased when compared to IDHS (1991) which is equal to 390 per 100,000 KH. The third goal of the Sustainable Development Goals is good health (Ministry of Health 2015), reducing MMR to 102 per 100,000 KH. Maternal mortality in 2010-2012 was caused by an enhancement in the incidence of preeclampsia, eclampsia and other factors, such as social problems, culture, lack of education, and economic problems. Method: The study was conducted at the Public Health assisted by Kediri Regency in April 2018. It used Quantitative research method by an Explanatory Study with the design of Case Control Study. The number of samples was 100 pregnant women from the Public Health in Kediri Regency. The independent variables were the age of pregnant women, education, employment, Body Mass Index and weight. The dependent variable was preeclampsia. The Primary data was conducted by interview using questionnaires and was supported by secondary data. And the data was analyzed by Bivariate Analysis with Chi Square using SPSS 22. Results. From the results of bivariate analysis using the chi square test, there was a relationship between the age of pregnant women (OR = 0.35; 95% CI = 0.15 to 0.80; p = 0.012), parity (OR = 0.26; 95% CI = 0.11 to 0.62; p = 0.002), education level (OR = 0.15; 95% CI = 0.06 to 0.38; p = <0.001) and employment (OR = 8.66; 95% CI = 3.46 to 21.65; p = <0.001) with preeclampsia. There was no correlation between BMI (OR = 1.06; 95% CI = 0.47 to 2.38; p = 0.870), BB (OR = 0.93; 95% CI = 0.41 to 2.09; p = 0.869), with preeclampsia. Conclusion. There is a correlation between the age of pregnant women, parity, education level and occupation with preeclampsia. Other variables which are not related to the case of preeclampsia are Body Mass Index and weight.
