The prevalence of obesity in adolescent girls is increasing each year. Several anthropometric measurements can be used to detect the incidence of insulin resistance. This study was aimed to observe the correlation of anthropometric profiles with insulin resistance in adolescent girls with obesity. This was an observational study with a total of 120 female students of Universitas Diponegoro (Undip) aged between 18 and 21 years old who have waist circumference 80 cm. They were chosen by a simple random sampling technique. Anthropometric profile data taken has consisted of waist circumference hip circumference waist-hip circumference ratio (WHR) waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) neck circumference waist circumference thigh circumference and 2D:4D digit ratio. Insulin resistance data was determined using the Homeostasis Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR.). Bivariate analysis was completed with the Spearman rank test. There was 83.3 of subjects who experienced insulin resistance. High WHtR was found in 98.3 of total subjects as many as 90.8 of subjects were at risk based on WHR values. Based on 2D:4D ratio digits neck circumference wrist circumference 50 of subjects were found as at risk. There was no correlation between waist circumference WHR wrist circumference 2D:4D digit ratio with HOMA-IR (p0.05). However there was a positive correlation between WHtR neck circumference and thigh circumference with HOMA-IR (p0.05). Anthropometric profiles such as WHtR neck circumference and thigh circumference were correlated with insulin resistance in female adolescents with obesity.

Abstract

The prevalence of obesity in adolescent girls is increasing each year. Several anthropometric measurements can be used to detect the incidence of insulin resistance. This study was aimed to observe the correlation of anthropometric profiles with insulin resistance in adolescent girls with obesity. This was an observational study with a total of 120 female students of Universitas Diponegoro (Undip) aged between 18 and 21 years old who have waist circumference 80 cm. They were chosen by a simple random sampling technique. Anthropometric profile data taken has consisted of waist circumference hip circumference waist-hip circumference ratio (WHR) waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) neck circumference waist circumference thigh circumference and 2D:4D digit ratio. Insulin resistance data was determined using the Homeostasis Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR.). Bivariate analysis was completed with the Spearman rank test. There was 83.3 of subjects who experienced insulin resistance. High WHtR was found in 98.3 of total subjects as many as 90.8 of subjects were at risk based on WHR values. Based on 2D:4D ratio digits neck circumference wrist circumference 50 of subjects were found as at risk. There was no correlation between waist circumference WHR wrist circumference 2D:4D digit ratio with HOMA-IR (p0.05). However there was a positive correlation between WHtR neck circumference and thigh circumference with HOMA-IR (p0.05). Anthropometric profiles such as WHtR neck circumference and thigh circumference were correlated with insulin resistance in female adolescents with obesity.
