The relationship between age, obesity indices, and cardiometabolic risk factors in Women: Findings from a point-of-care health screening in South Sulawesi, Indonesia
Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) significantly increases the risk of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. The prevalence of MetS is higher in women due to factors such as pregnancy, menopause, and lifestyle habits. In Indonesia, MetS affects 21.66 % of the population, with women being...

| description | Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) significantly increases the risk of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. The prevalence of MetS is higher in women due to factors such as pregnancy, menopause, and lifestyle habits. In Indonesia, MetS affects 21.66 % of the population, with women being disproportionately affected. Biomarkers may improve diagnosis; early detection is essential for care and prevention. This study evaluates health screening results among women in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, to provide insights into MetS prevalence and risk factors. Methods: Using point-of-care devices, this study analyzed data sources on health examination results from a community service activity attended by 139 female participants undergoing a comprehensive health assessment, including anthropometric, blood pressure, and biochemical measurements. Results: The study's findings revealed a range of significant health concerns among the female participants, including hypertension, hyperuricemia, hypercholesterolemia, and obesity. These conditions were found to increase with age. The study also identified specific cutoff values for body weight and body mass index that could predict hypertension, 57.7 kg and 24.8 kg/m2, respectively, and the visceral fat index that could indicate potential hyperuricemia was 8.8. Conclusion: Metabolic health screening identifies obesity, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and hyperuricemia as key concerns for women's health in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. These findings highlight the need for further validation and targeted interventions to improve women's metabolic health. |
