Abstract: Background. Obesity is the factors that make another disease happen, especially degenerative diseases, Many Anthropometrical methods are used to categorized obesity, and among them which commonly used is body mass index, eventually the limitation of body mass index  is not accurately in special condition. Neck circle is an alternative method  that easy to understand like body mass index because neck circle always related with other degenerative diseases. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to know the relationship between the length of neck circle with obesity in students in Medical Faculty of Sam Ratulangi University. Methods: This Observational study using cross sectional design which will be realized on November 2012 in Medical Faculty of  Sam Ratulangi University. The measuring do with the way that want to know the relationship between obesity body mass index with special provisions, and the measurement of  neck circle length used  measuring tape onemed, and analysis used Spearman correlation experiment test. Results. 111 respondents getting obesity, 73 men with r = 0,561 and p=0,000 and 38 women with r = 0,824 and p = 0,000. It means having strong relationship between to each research subject. Conclusion: There is strong relationship between neck circle length and subject that getting obesity according to 73 men and  38 women in Medical Faculty of Sam Ratulangi University Students. Key Words. Obesity, neck circle length, body mass index, degenerative diseases.    Abstrak: Obesitas merupakan faktor resiko terjadi berbagai macam penyakit termasuk penyakit degeneratif, Berbagai cara antropometri digunakan untuk menentukan obesitas dan yang tersering digunakan yaitu indeks massa tubuh namun keterbatasannya ialah tidak akurat pada kondisi tertentu. Lingkar leher merupakan metode alternatif yang muda seperti indeks massa tubuh dikarenakan lingkar leher sering dikaitkan dengan beberapa penyakit degeneratif. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara lingkar leher dengan obesitas pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi. Metode: Penelitian observasional dengan desain cross sectional dilaksanakan pada bulan November tahun 2012 di Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi. Pengukuran dilakukan dengan cara mengetahui obesitas dengan metode indeks massa tubuh dengan syarat tertentu dan pemeriksaan lingkar leher dengan menggunakan pita ukur OneMed, analisis menggunakan uji korelasi spearman. Hasil: Sebanyak 111 responden yang mengalami obesitas, pada laki-laki berjumlah 73 orang dengan nilai r = 0,561 dan p sebesar 0,000 dan pada perempuan berjumlah 38 orang  dengan nilai r = 824 dan p sebesar 0,000 yang berarti memiliki hubungan yang kuat pada masing-masing subjek penelitian. Simpulan: Terdapat hubungan antara lingkar leher dan subjek yang mengalami obesitas pada laki-laki yang berjumlah 73 orang dan perempuan yang berjumlah 38 orang dengan jumlah keseluruhan yaitu 111 orang pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi. Kata kunci: Obesitas, lingkar leher, indeks massa tubuh, penyakit degeneratif.

Objective: We hypothesized that, compared with body mass index (BMI) alone, central obesity would provide added information regarding types of asthma (allergic, nonallergic) and asthma severity. Materials and Methods: A total of 150 children aged between 7-17 years with 50 allergic asthma, 50 nonallergic asthma and 50 controls were included in the study. Height, weight, waist and hip circumferences of the groups were measured. Waist-to-hip ratio and BMI were calculated. Pulmonary function test results were recorded. The relation between anthropometric measurements, asthma, atopy, obesity and each other was analyzed. Results: Obesity according to BMI was higher in the group with allergic asthma than nonallergic asthma and the control group (p: 0.014). A positive correlation was found between asthma and BMI percentile, BMI z score and waist-to-hip ratio (p: 0.002; 0.003; 0.040, respectively). Children with obesity according to waist circumference were more frequent in the groups with allergic and nonallergic asthma compared to the control group (p: 0.048). There was a significant relationship between asthma severity and central obesity (p: 0.048). FEV1 / FVC and FEF25-75 were lower in the asthmatic groups compared to the control group (p: 0.028; 0.012, respectively). Conclusion: This study showed that central obesity was associated with asthma and asthma severity, but not with atopy. More investigation is needed to clarify how central obesity in children affects the control of asthma and the response to asthma medication.

The Relationship

Background and Aims: Cord blood leptin may reflect the leptinemic status of a newborn at birth more accurately than the leptin values of blood collected from other sites. The present study was undertaken to determine the relationship of cord serum leptin concentration at birth with neonatal and maternal anthropometric parameters. Materials and Methods: Blood was taken from the umbilical cord of the babies at delivery. Maternal anthropometric measurements were recorded at admission for delivery. Neonatal anthropometric measurements were recorded within 48 hours after delivery. Linear regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between cord serum leptin concentration and anthropometric parameters of the baby and the mother. Both Serum leptin and serum C-peptide levels were measured by chemiluminescence-based ELISA method. Results: The leptin concentration (ng/ml, mean±SD) in cord blood was 39.13±14.44. Cord leptin levels correlated with birth weight (r=0.673, p<0.0001), ponderal index (r=0.732, p<0.0001) but it did not correlate with maternal body mass index, gestational age (r=0.135, p=0.349) at delivery or cord serum C-peptide concentration (r=-0.049, p=0.735) or placental weight (r=0.203, p=0.157). Conclusion: There are associations between cord leptin concentration at delivery and birth weight, ponderal index (PI) of the babies but not body mass index (BMI) of the mothers. High leptin levels of the baby could represent an important feedback modulator of substrate supply and subsequently for adipose tissue status during late gestation.

AbstractObjectivesThe combination of sleep duration, television (TV) time and body mass index (BMI) may be related to the alteration of cardiometabolic risk. However, there are few studies that use these variables grouped, and showing the moderating role of age. This study aimed to verify if the combination of sleep duration, TV time and BMI is associated with cardiometabolic risk and the moderating role of age in this relationship in youth.MethodsCross-sectional study conducted with 1411 adolescents (611 male), aged 10–17 years. Sleep duration, TV time and BMI were assessed and grouped into eight categories. Cardiometabolic risk was assessed by a continuous metabolic risk score, including the following variables: low HDL-cholesterol, elevated triglycerides, dysglycemia, high systolic blood pressure, high waist circumference and low cardiorespiratory fitness. Generalized linear models were used to test moderation of age in the relationship between the eight categories of sleep duration/television time/BMI with cardiometabolic risk.ResultsCardiometabolic risk factor showed association with all overweight or obesity independent of sleep time and TV time. Age moderated the relationship between sleep duration/television time/BMI with cardiometabolic risk. This association was stronger in younger adolescents (11 and 13 years), indicating that individuals with inadequate sleep, prolonged TV time and overweight/obesity present higher cardiometabolic risk values when compared to 15-year-old adolescents.ConclusionOverweight/obesity, independently of sleep duration and TV time, is the main risk factor for cardiometabolic disorders in adolescence. When moderated by age, younger adolescents that presented the combination of risk factors had higher cardiometabolic risk.
