Aim: to obtain prevalence of insulin resistance among siblings of subjects with type 2 DM and their metabolic abnormality profiles as measured by their BMI, waist circumference (WC), blood pressure, glucose intolerance, concentration of triglyceride, HDL cholesterol, and uric acid.
Methods: a preliminary, cross sectional study conducted among 30 siblings from seven type 2 DM subjects under medical treatment in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital and other places where the subjects lived.
Aim: To obtain the prevalence of MetS in Jakarta, as a capital city of Indonesia.
Methods: Data were obtained from surveillance of primary non-communicable disease in five regions in Jakarta, Indonesia, conducted in 2006. Targeting for 1,800 samples, we performed a purposive and simple random sampling of subjects within the age range of 25-64 years old in selected sampling areas, and stratified random sampling by adjusting to age and sex within those selected sampling areas.
Aim: to find the correlation between total body fat, truncal subcutaneous fat, peripheral subcutaneous fat, waist circumference and insulin resistance in elderly
Methods: a cross sectional study was conducted in patients aged 60 years or more who visited the Geriatric Outpatient Clinic at Department of Internal Medicine, Cipto Mangunkusumo National Central General Hospital, Jakarta. Subcutaneous fat thickness was measured by using caliper at 5 different sites. Truncal subcutaneous fat was measured at subscapular, suprailiaca and abdomen; whereas peripheral subcutaneous fat was measured at tricep and thigh region.
Aim: To obtain the prevalence of dyslipidemia and other cardiovascular risk factors in subjects with undiagnosed DM in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Methods: Data were obtained from surveillance of primary non-communicable disease in five regions in Jakarta, Indonesia, conducted in 2006. Targeting for 1,800 samples, we performed a purposive and simple random sampling of subjects within the age range of 25-64 years old in selected sampling areas, and stratified random sampling by adjusting to age and sex within those selected sampling areas.
Aim: To know the clinical picture of subjects with NASH in Jakarta, Indonesia and the prevalence of insulin resistance, TNF-a, and adiponectin levels among them.
Methods: this was a comparative cross-sectional study between patients with histopathologically confirmed NASH and normal subjects. The population of study was patients with fatty liver without history or significant consumption of ethanol.
Aim: to determine vitamin D serum concentration, the timed up and go (TUG) test score, and the correlation between vitamin D serum concentration and TUG test score of elderly women.
Methods: a correlative cross-sectional study of elderly women aged 60 years old or above was carried out in three nursing homes in DKI Jakarta and one elderly nursing home in Bekasi, in January 2005. TUG test was performed to evaluate basic functional mobility by measuring the time in seconds to stand from 46 cm height armchair, walk three meters, turn around, and return to full sitting in chair.
Aim: to investigate the correlation between serum vitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration and quadriceps femoris muscle strength.
Methods: this was a cross-sectional correlative study, conducted at three nursing homes in Jakarta and one nursing home in Bekasi in January 2005. The subjects were women aged 60 years or above.
Objective: To determine the effects of menopause on bone-related variables in Indonesian women and to compare them with corresponding data in Caucasian Australian women.
Design: A study of bone-related variables in women aged 45-55 years in Jakarta compared with corresponding historical data from Caucasian Australian women.
Measurements: Dietary intakes, bone mineral density (BMD) and calcium-related variables in blood and urine.
Aim: To determine the correlation between insulin resistance and left ventricular systolic function in obese women.
Methods: 44 obese (BMI > or =25 kg/m2) and 45 normal weight women were studied. They had no other pathological conditions.
Aim: To determine the direct effect of obesity on echocardiographic indices of diastolic left ventricular function
Methods: 44 obese (BMI > or =25 kg/m2) and 45 normal weight women were studied. They had no other pathological conditions. Echocardiographic indices of diastolic function were obtained, and dysfunction was assumed when at least two values differed by > or =2 SD from the normal weight group.
Aim: To obtain a depiction of insulin resistance and to determine the correlation between age, body mass index, and insulin resistance, and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in elderly women living in nursing homes.
Methods: Ninety two elderly females with an average age of 71.4 (SD 7.
