Poor oral health has been reported to correlate to the body mass index (BMI) of the overweight and the obesity groups. These has yet widely studied in Indonesia. The aim of this study was to analysed the oral health, socioeconomy factors (FSE) and the BMI in the seemingly healthy university students in Kediri aged 18-21 years old. This cross-sectional study was conducted amongst male and female students of IIKBW, Kediri, Indonesia (n=150). We analysed their BMI from the body weight and height (kg/m2). Their oral health was determined by the DMFT index (decayed missing filled teeth index), the stimulated salivary flow rate (SSFR) and the gingival index (GI). FSE studied include father’s highest education and monthly income, tooth brushing frequency in a day and dental floss habitual use. Data was analysed using SPSS 17 with level of significance of p<0.05. No significant differences in BMI, DMFT index, SSFR and GI respectively (p=0.411;p=0.037, p=0.880, p=0.142) between male and female groups. No significant corelation BMI with DMFT index, SSFR and GI, respectively (p=0.340, p=0.420, p=0,446). FSE are not significantly correlated to either the BMI, DMFT index, SSFR orGI (p > 0.05). There were 41.8% of males and 57.8% of females have “bad” score of DMFT and 98.6% of males and 92.1% of females have “bad” score of GI; 4.1% of males and 2.6% of females have low score of SSFR.Although we found no significant differences in the BMI and oral health parameters between genders, in the seemingly healthy young adults oral health hygiene could be compromised as found in the current study indicated by bad scores of DMFT, SSFR or GI. Here we found that either BMI or FSE was not significantly correlated to any of oral health parameters measured in the current study.
We explored association between the levels of total cholesterol (TC) and uric acid (UA) to the middle upper arm circumference (MUAC), waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC) amongst seemingly healthy university students in Kediri, Indonesia aged 17-23 years (n=150); no history of major previous diseases were found (i.e. metabolic syndrome). TC and UA measured from the capillary blood; standardised anthropometry measurements were done by trained medical doctors. Correlation, linear regression, independent t-test or Mann-Whitney analysis were performed with the level of significance of p<0.05. We found higher TC (p=0.053), UA (p<0.001), MUAC (p=0.009), HC (p=0.865) and WC (p=0.001) among males than among females. TC was significantly correlated to the UA with prevalence of hypercholesterolemia of 46.7% and hyperuricemia of 30% of all participants. All anthropometry was significantly correlated to the TC and UA among males (p<0.001); TC and UA were strongly corresponded to all anthropometry parameters among males. Hypercholesterolemia and hyperuricemia could be found amongst the seemingly healthy young adults in Indonesia; among males these are strongly correlated to the higher MUAC, WC and HC. Daily physical activity and proper healthy diet might help to decrease these cardiovascular disease risk factors.
Karies dan obesitas merupakan permasalahan yang sering dihadapi pada bidang kesehatan masyarakat terutama pada individu dewasa muda dan prevalensi kondisi tersebut terus meningkat di seluruh dunia. Status obesitas sentral telah dilaporkan memiliki korelasi dengan pengalaman karies, hal tersebut belum bayak dipelajari di Indonesia. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan antara pengalaman karies dan status obesitas sentral pada mahasiswa dengan kondisi sehat usia 18-22 tahun. Penelitian cross-sectional ini dilakukan di Institut Ilmu Kesehatan Bhakti Wiyata Kediri dengan jumlah sampel 120. Pengalaman karies dinilai dengan indeks decayed missing filled teeth index (DMFT) dan status obesitas sentral dinilai dengan waist hip ratio (WHR) yang merupakan rasio dari lingkar pinggang (waist circumference) dan lingkar pangggul (hip circumference). Data dianalisa menggunakan SPSS 17 dengan tingkat signifikansi p0,05. Terdapat korelasi antara WHR dan waist circumference (WC) dengan indeks DMFT (p=0,028, r= 0,201; p=0,025, r=0,204). Pada pemerikasaan indeks DMFT didapatkan persentase individu dengan pengalaman karies kategori sangat rendah 14,2% (n=17), kategori rendah 17,5% (n=21) kategori sedang 23,3% (n=28), kategori tinggi 29,1% (n=35) dan kategori sangat tinggi 15,8% (n=19). Pengukuran antropometri didapatkan rerata WC=78,6, hip circumference (HC)=97,3 dan WHR=0,81. Persentase individu yang mengalami obesitas sentral pada laki-laki sebesar 13,3% (n=8) dan pada perempuan 28,3% (n=17). Pada penelitian ini status obesitas sentral memiliki hubungan signifikan terhadap indeks DMFT.

Introduction: We examined environmental and genetic factors potentially correlated with the blood glucose and physical fitness in Kediri, East Java, Indonesia to elucidate the predominant cardiovascular disease risk. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study on 68 adults aged 18-22 years. Direct interview was conducted to get socio-economy, daily diets (rice/ R, snacks and sweets/ SS, veggies and fruits/ VF), daily activity (locomotors and non-locomotors) data. Peripheral blood-GABRA6 and SLC6A4 polymorphisms, fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood pressure, 3 fitness parameters (1 min push-up, 3 minutes step up, pulse rate after 3 minutes step-up) were measured by 2 independent and pre-trained medical doctors. Kruskal-Wallis, Chi-Square, and eta-coefficient tests were used to seek differences between genotypes and correlation strength between variables, respectively (significant if p<0.05). Results: Both gene’s genotypes showed significant correlations with the FBG (p=0.042, p=0.013, respectively); GABRA6 polymorphism significantly correlated with SU (p=0.033). There was a significant difference in the FBG between 2 VF subgroups (p=0.02). Strongest association was found between FBG and SLC6A4 (η=0.3); PR and GABRA6 (η=0.168), PU and SLC6A4 (η=0.38); SU and Locomotors (η=0.237). Conclusions: In these seemingly healthy young adults, daily diets and the genotypes of both genes have a good association with the FBG and physical fitness levels.
