Abstract

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and central obesity are associated with higher risk of cardiovascular diseases especially in women. Lipid profile may reflect dyslipidemia which includes hypertriglyceridemia, increased level of LDL-C, total cholesterol, and reduced HDL-C level in the blood. Patients with central obesity tend to have dyslipidemia compared to those without central obesity counterpart. The study aimed at comparing lipid profile in central-obese diabetic women and non–central-obese diabetic women. Methods: This study was an analytical study with cross–sectional approach conducted in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia in 2013. A total of 160 data contained of waist circumference (WC) and the level of total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-C and LDL-C were obtained from medical record of Diabetic patients within the period of January 2010–January 2012. Women patients whose WC of ≥80 cm were classified as central obesity while WC of <80 cm were classified as non-central obesity. The t-test was used to compare means of different variables, p<0.05 was considered as statistically significant.Results: Central obese diabetic women when compared to non-central obese diabetic women showed statistically significant increase in the level of total cholesterol serum, triglyceride serum and decrease in HDL-C serum level (p<0.05). The LDL-C serum level did not show statistical significant difference in the two groups (p>0.05).Conclusions: Diabetic patients with central obesity tend to have higher level of total cholesterol and triglyceride and lower level of HDL-C compared to diabetic patients without central obesity.

Abstract

Background: Allergic rhinitis is the inflammation of the nasal mucosa. It will be resulting in nasal itching, sneezing, discharge, or blockage which occurs for more than an hour on most days. Allergens such as plant pollens, fungi, animal allergens, and dust mites are the factors which initiate allergic rhinitis. There are many risk factors for allergic rhinitis, such as family history of atopic disease, asthma, age, gender and others. Besides, overweight is also considered one of the risk factors for developing allergic rhinitis. Thus, this study was conducted to investigate the correlation between allergic rhinitis and body mass index.Methods: This study involved a cross-sectional analytic study. Seventy three respondents both male and female medical students of Universitas Padjadjaran completed a questionnaire, and had their height and weight measured by a trained researcher. This study was carried out from September to October 2015. Statistical analyses were performed included the Rank Spearman test.Results: There was no significant relationship between allergic rhinitis and body mass index.Conclusions: There is no correlation between severity of allergic rhinitis and body mass index.
