Abstract

Background: The prevalence of obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) is rising among young adults, contributing to early cardiometabolic risk amid lifestyle transitions in Indonesia. This study examined the associations between obesity, MetS components, and body composition among Indonesian young adults.Methods: A total of 99 participants were classified based on body mass index (BMI) into normoweight (n=51) and obese (n=48) groups. Anthropometric measurements, body composition, blood pressure, and lipid profiles were assessed. MetS was defined according to the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) criteria. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors independently associated with obesity. Results: Obesity was significantly associated with several MetS components. Abdominal obesity was observed only in the obese group (33.3%). Hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL cholesterol were more prevalent among obese participants compared with normoweight individuals (27.1% vs. 5.9% and 51.0% vs. 31.4%, respectively). MetS (≥3 NCEP ATP III criteria) was identified in 12.5% of obese participants and was absent in the normoweight group. Multivariable analysis identified family history of hypertension (adjusted OR 2.82; 95% CI 1.06–7.48) and elevated triglyceride levels (adjusted OR 4.78; 95% CI 1.13–20.22) as independent predictors of obesity.Conclusions: Obese young adults exhibit early metabolic abnormality, particularly abdominal obesity, low HDL cholesterol, and hypertriglyceridemia. Early metabolic screening and targeted preventive strategies are important to reduce future cardiometabolic risk.

Abstract

Menstruation is an essential physiological process in adolescent girls. Reflecting not only reproductive health but also overall health status. Menstrual disorders, particularly heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), are common among adolescents, with a prevalence of approximately 12–37%. Nutritional status plays a key role in menstrual health. In adolescents with overnutrition, excess body fat can increase estrogen production, which may subsequently affect the menstrual cycle, including the volume of menstrual blood. In boarding school settings, where students live under structured schedules and share dietary patterns, nutritional imbalances are common and may disrupt menstrual patterns. This study aimed to determine the relationship between nutritional status and menstrual blood volume among adolescent girls at a boarding school in Bogor, West Java,  Indonesia, in 2025. It was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design involving 85 adolescent girls aged 15–17 years, selected through stratified random sampling according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Primary data were obtained from menstrual pictogram forms and measurements of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the chi-square test. Among the 85 participants, 35 experienced menorrhagia, including all 15 who were classified as overnutrition based on BMI, and 11 participants with increased waist circumference. Fisher’s Exact tests for both BMI and waist circumference against menstrual blood volume yielded p-values <0.001 (p<0.005), indicating a highly significant association. In conclusion, higher BMI and greater waist circumference were strongly associated with increased menstrual blood volume among adolescent girls at a boarding school in Bogor. Nutritional balance and weight control are essential to support healthy menstrual patterns in this population.
