Mini Thesis Medical Faculty of Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta. Background: Activist students have a little time available for physical exercise from too many activities could cause fat metabolism disorder which increase obesity potential. Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR) is an easy and cheap antropometry that can be a parameter of metabolic syndrome like hyperglicemia which is caused by obesity.

Methods: This was an observational analitic study using cross sectional design. Samples were taken from all applicants of Aktivis Nusantara Scholarsip 2012 by using pure purposive sampling technique. Each subject was taken its BMI, WHR and blood samples to know the FGR after fasting for 10-12 hours. Datas were analyzed and tested with Pearson Correlation test by using Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) 17.0 for Windows. Results: The result of Pearson Correlation Test between BMI and FGR showed P > 0.05, P = 0.785; r = - 0.052. Meanwhile, WHCR and FGR showed P > 0.05, P = 0.874; r = 0.030. Conclusions: We can conclude from this research that WHCR has a higher validity rate than BMI against FGR. Key Word: activist students, validity, BMI, WHCR, FGR ]]>
