Hubungan antara Lingkar Pinggang dengan Nilai Volume Ekspirasi Paksa Detik Pertama (VEP ) dan Nilai Kapasitas Vital Paksa (KVP) pada Pemeriksaan Spirometri

Abstract

Background: Decreased lung function have been associated with
cardiovascular disease and mortality. Studies have reported an impact of
central obesity on lung function among men. Waist circumference is one of
the indicator for central obesity and is better than BMI and WHR in
predicting intra-abdominal fat. Obejctive: The aim of this research was to
investigate the relationship between waist circumference with FEV
value
and FVC value in men workers at the Central Office of PT. Bank
Pembangunan Daerah Kalimantan Barat. Methods: This research was an
analytical study with cross-sectional design. A total of 41 subjects aged
18-55 years were selected through a consecutive-sampling technique
based on research criterias. Data were obtained from questionnaires
about subject"™s smoking pattern, waist circumference (WC), body height,
body weight and spirometry measurement. Subjects were grouped into 2
categories, risk group (WC ≥ 90 cm) and non risk group (WC < 90 cm). Tindependent

test was used to analyze the data. Results: Mean waist
circumference was 91,61 ± 10,31 cm. Mean FEV and FVC   values were 92,65 % and 93,77 %   for non risk group and 85,50% and 84,21%. For risk group. FEV 1 1 and FVC values were significantly lower in risk group than in non risk group, there was statistically significant association between waist circumference with FEV values (p = 0,004) and FVC values (p < 0,001). Conclusions: Waist circumference is associated with FEV 1 value and FVC on spirometry measurement.

Keywords: Waist circumference, spirometry, FEV
