Abstract

Background: Visceral fat and skeletal muscle mass are important components in glucose metabolism regulation, particularly in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Visceral fat is aasociated with insulin resistance, while skeletal muscle serves as the primary site of glucose uptake after meals. Objective: To analyze the association between visceral fat and muscle mass with random blood glucose levels in patients with T2DM. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in July 2024 at the Kota Agung Primary Health Center, Tanggamus Regency, involving 58 T2DM patients selected through purposive sampling. Visceral fat and muscle mass were measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and random blood glucose levels were assessed using a glucometer. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation test. Result: A significant positive association was observed between visceral fat and random blood glucose levels (r = 0.387, p = 0.003). Conversely, a significant negative association was found between muscle mass and random blood glucose levels (r = –0.386, p = 0.003). Female patients generally showed higher visceral fat, lower muscle mass, and higher random blood glucose levels than male patients. Conclusion: Visceral fat is positively associated, and skeletal muscle mass is negatively associated with random blood glucose levels in T2DM patients. These findings highlight the importance of body composition in glycemic control and suggest that interventions targeting visceral fat reduction and muscle mass preservation may be effective in managing T2DM.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels and has become one of the emerging health concerns among Generation Z (Gen Z). Diet and physical activity are major risk factors for the development of diabetes mellitus. Unhealthy eating habits and sedentary lifestyles can lead to increase blood glucose levels and a higher risk of insulin resistance. This study aimed to determine the correlation between dietary patterns and physical activity levels of Gen Z employees with random blood glucose status and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This research employed a quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of 477 Gen Z employees, and a sample of 204 participants was selected using the purposive sampling technique. Research instruments included a dietary questionnaire using the Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), a physical activity questionnaire using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and blood glucose examination using the Easy Touch GCU device. Data were analyzed using the Gamma test. The results from 204 subjects showed that 191 subjects (93.6%) had unbalanced diets, 161 subjects (78.9%) had low physical activity levels, and 116 subjects (56.9%) had normal random blood glucose levels. There was a significant correlation between the dietary patterns of Gen Z employees and random blood glucose status with the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (p=0.000), as well as a significant correlation between physical activity levels and random blood glucose status with the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (p=0.023). It is expected that these findings can be used as a reference for dietary service guidelines for individuals at risk of or living with diabetes mellitus.
