Abstract
Trend and prevalence of non-communicable disease in Indonesia has risen. Metabolic syndrome predicts the development of metabolic disease such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Workers have a risk for metabolic syndrome due to less physical activity and high carbohydrate and fat consumption. Diagnose of metabolic syndrome needs a high cost to be known periodically rather than anthropometric measurement. This study was aimed to get a prevalence of metabolic syndrome among workers and found the most related anthropometric parameter to metabolic syndrome. A total of 80 subjects has enrolled to a cross sectional study. The subjects were measured of anthropometric parameters and metabolic syndrome components. We got the correlation of anthropometrics parameter with metabolic syndrome components by Pearson and Spearman analysis, and multivariate analysis. Results showed the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among workers was 31.25%. The increase in the following anthropometric variable values indicates an increase of metabolic syndrome component as follows: waist-to-hip ratio to triglyceride levels; abdominal circumference to blood pressure; body mass index against triglyceride levels abdominal circumference; percent body fat against abdominal circumference and fasting blood sugar. The interaction of percent body fat combine with upper arm circumference determinate the increase of triglyceride levels 13%. The interaction of waist-to-hip ratio with and body mass index determinate the increase of abdominal circumference 81%. An increase of anthropometric parameters can be used to assess an increased component of metabolic syndrome.
