Abstract

BACKGROUND

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death in the world every year. The Framingham Risk Score predicts the possibility of cardiovascular disorders in risk of occurring in the next 10 years. Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) is an anthropometry that reflects abdominal fat and is considered better than the Body Mass Index (BMI) in predicting cardiovascular risk. High fat intake will increase the risk of CVD. This study aims to identify the relationship between WHR and fat intake with the risk of cardiovascular events in  productive age.

METHOD

This cross-sectional observational study consisted of 173 respondents aged 30-64 years at RW 12, Dutamas, Grogol Pertamburan between the period of September to November 2018. Data collection was done through consecutive non-random sampling, using primary data to determine the measurements of WHR, BMI, data for FRS calculations, and 3x24 hour food recall interviews.  Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS 23.

RESULTS

There were 62 male respondents and 111 female respondents. Both men and women are in risk of a high RLPP measurement. However, men are more likely to be found with obesity in comparison to women. Both men and women presented a high fat intake of >=80% AKG. In the FRS test with WHR and fat intake, results show a p value of <0.05 for men and women meanwhile the FRS test with BMI resulted in p> ​​0.05 for men and p <0.05 for women.

CONCLUSION

There was a relationship between Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) and fat intake with the risk of cardiovascular events.
