Abstract
Waist circumference can be used as an indicator
of
abdominal obesity, whereas abdominal obesitywill
be followed by an increaseof
body mass index(BMI).
Bothof
these can cause discruptionof
insulin sensitivity which can lead to diabetes mellitus type 2. This research aims to know the influence of waist circumi-erence to diabetes mellitus type 2. The sampling wascaried
outin
clinical internaof
A.Wahab.sjahranie hospital. The method used was analytic crossectional study by comparing patients with diabetes mellitus type2
and, without diabetes mellitus type 2. The data analysis used bivariat analysis, and tested by chi-square test. The result of this research showed a significant relationship between waist circumference which is more than 80 cm in f'emale and more than 90 cm in male with incidence of diabetes mellitus type 2. Conclusion : waist circumference can ail'ect the incidence of diabetes mellitus type 2.Keywords : waist circumference, diabetes mellitus, abdominal obesity
Introduction
Obesity has become a major worldwide
epidemicaffecting more than 300 million people. It is
an importantrisk factor for
diabetesmellitus,
type2,
achronic
disor-
der ofcarbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism.From the clinical
perspective, visceral adiposetissue is known to
generate diabetogenic substances(De
Fronzo, 2OO4) and,as
such,may
beClinical evidence
suggeststhat the
associationof
diabeteswith central obesity is stronger than
the associationwith
generalfat.
Studiesusing
computed tomographyand magnetic
resonanceimaging
haveprovided further evidence to support that
central Etal.l990;
JensenMD,
2006).Central obesity has been associatedwith
decreased glucose tolerance, alterationsin glucose insulin
homeostasis,reduced
metabolic clearanceof insulin,
and decreased insulin-stimulated glucose disposal.In addition, studies that have analyzed, the association
of
anthropometric measuresand
abdominalvisceral
fat have found waist circumferenceto
be a better measureof
central obesity becauseit is a
better predictorof abdominal visceral fat obtained with
computedmore informative than total fat for
diagnostic evaluation.The
standard epidemiologic translationof these important clinical facts uses
anthropometric measures.Waist
circum-ference and waist have been usedas
measuresof
central obesity (where visceral adipose tissueis
stored), and body mass index (kg/m,) has been used as a measure of general obesity (Molarius A, Seidell JC., 1998).obesity, visceral adipose tissue, and
upper-bodynonvisceral fat are the major contributors to
themetabolic complications
(DespresJp, Moorjani
S,Lupien
pJ,tomography than the waist/hip
ratio,
so thatit
can be easily measured and interpreted ((MolariusA,
Seidell JC., 1998; Rankinen T,Kim
SY, perusse L, et al.,lggg;
Hill
JO, Sidney S, Lewis CE, etal.,
1999). However,waist circumference cannot distinguish
abdominal subcutaneous fat, total abdominal fat, and total body fat, andit
is strongly correlated with body mass index. Body mass index has been shownto
be a good indicatorof
general fat (fat areas
in
the arm, thigh, and waist using computed tomography scans), muscularity (muscle area95
in the thigh), and frame size
(bone areain
thighs) Seidell JC, Bjorntorp P, Sjostrom L, et a1.,1989).As
expected, epidemiologic studies have demonstratedthat these three obesity indicators are strong
and consistentpredictors of
diabetesmellitus, type
2- However, despite the clear,clinical
difference between visceraland other forms of fat, little
epidemiologic difference would be expected in the relations of diabetes with body mass index versus waist circumference (FordES, Mokdad AH, Giles WH.,
2003). Several studieshave shown that waist
circumferenceis a
better predictorof
diabetes mellitus, type2,
than body massindex, but
thesefindings are
inconclusive(Wei M,
Gaskill SP, Haffner SM, et al., 1997; Stevens J, CouperD,
Pankow J, et al., 2001).While
other studies provide evidence that waist/hip ratio has less influence towards body mass index (OhlsonLO,
LarssonB,
Bjomtorp P, et al., 1988; Cassano PA, Rosner B, Vokonas PS, et a1.'1992).In addition, the ability ofthese obesity indicators to predict diabetes may differ by ethnicity, age, and sex (Resnick
HE, Halter JB, Valsania P, et al.,
1998;Haffner SM, Mitchell BD, Hazuda HP, et al., 1991). For example, among Asian populations, central obesity has become
a
more consistent predictorof
diabetes thantotal
obesity (CassanoPA,
RosnerB,
Vokonas PS, et al., 1992; Boyko EJ, FujimotoWY,
LeonettiDL,
et al.'Visceral adiposity and risk of type 2
diabetes: aprospective study among Japanese Americans. Diabetes Care 2000),
while
general obesity has become a better predictor among White US populations and Europeans(Chan JM, Rimm EB, Colditz CA, et
a1., 19941'Spiegelman D, Israel RG, Bouchard C, et al., 1992)-
To study the
magnitudeof the
association among different obesity indicatorsin
multiethnic populations comprising studies worldwide, we performed a analysisof published studies that reported the
association between obesity and incident diabetesin
certain area.This study aims to know the
relationshipof
waist circumference of male and female diabetes and the non diabetes onesin a certain area
(A.Wahab.Sjahranie hospital).Material

Discussion
The relationship
of
waist circumferencewith
incident diabetes was confirmedin our
studyby a
significant valuep =
0.000. Thereis
a relationship between waist circumferencewith
incidentof
diabetes mellitus type 2- This research showed a significant result for men whosewaist
circumferencemore than 90 cm and
womenwhose
waist circumference more than 80cm with
an incidentof
diabetes mellitus type 2.Ford et al. (2003), support the use of
waistcircumference as a measure
of
obesity to predict healthrisk. Among their arguments are that
waistcircumference has been shown
to
bea
goodor
betterpredictor than body mass index of the
metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cardiovascular disease,and
all- causeof mortality
dueto the
metabolic syndrome;it
provides information about health
risk
aswell
as body massindex;
andit is
conceptually easyto
measure,although it does require some training
and standardization. However, basedon the result of
the study,it is
reasonable that waist circumferenceit
used as an indicatorof risk for
cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus type 2 (MolariusA,
Seidell JC., 1998;Seidell JC, Bjorntorp P, Sjostrom L, et a1.,1989; Janssen
I,
HeymsfieldSB, Allison DB, et al., 2002).
Some counterarguments statesthat waist
circumference is strongly correlatedto body
massindex (Ford et
al., 2003;Wei M, Gaskill
SP,Haffner SM, et
a1., 1997:, CODA Study group, 2004); waist circumference can not differentiate between subcutaneous fat and visceral fat;it
has not shown a consistent relationship between waist circumferencewith
visceral fat based on age and body massindex;
andbody fat distribution which
may bedifferent
acrossracial, sex, and age ((Molarius
A, Seidell JC., 1998;Hill
JO, Sidney S,trwis
CE, et al.1999; Janssen
I,
HeymsfieldSB, Allison DB, et
al., 2002;Molarius A, Seidell JC,
SansS, et al.,
1993;Duncan
BB,
ChamblessLE,
SchmidtMI,
et a1., 1995) strata.Other indicators have been suggested
to
describe fatdistribution associated with abdominal
obesity(Molarius A, Seidell JC.,
1998).For
example, the subscapular/tricepsskinfold ratio has been used
to describe central versus peripheral obesity. The waist/hip ratio and the waist/thigh ratio have been used to identify upper versuslower body
obesity.In addition,
otherindicator, such as waist/height ratio, conicity index, and abdominal
to midthigh
girth, have been developed on the basisof a
varietyof
criteria. However, ratios are moredifficult
to interpret biologically, are less sensitiveto
weight gain, and have statistical limitations (AllisonDB, Paultre F, Goran MI, et
a1.,1995).
Because relativelyfew
studies have considered these indicators, we did not include them in our meta-analysis. However, some have argued against the use of waist/hip ratio as a measureof
obesity becauseof its
ambiguous biologic interpretation,its
lesser sensitivityto
weight gain, its greatffvariability
across age, sex, and ethnic groups,and its greater computational complexity
and interpretationin a public
health context(Molarius
A, Seidell JC., 1998).Stevens
et al.
(2001), foundthat
waist circumference had better discriminatory performancefor
diabetes than did body mass index or waist/hip ratio.When comparing differences between obesity indicators across study-level characteristics,
we found that
thepresent analysis had several limitations
included comparisonsof waist
circumference. Sparsenessof
studies
in
each categorydid not allow us to
furtheranalyze the heterogeneity with a
multivariable approach.Additional
heterogeneitymay be
derivedfrom diversity of design features,
clinical characteristics, and model assumptions.Conclusions
In
conclusion, thereis a
relationship between waist circumference with incident of diabetes mellitus type 2.This research showed a significant result for men whose
waist
circumferencemore than 90 cm and
womenwhose
waist circumference more than 80cm with
anincident of
diabetesmellitus type 2. Although
the clinical useof
the waist circumference measurementof
visceralfat is
undeniable, the statisticalreality is
thatwaist
circumferenceand body
massindex are
veryhighly
correlatedand likely to
happensimilarly
indiabetes prediction.
Waist
circumference, appears to have the same ability to predict diabetes as well as body mass index.References
