Correlation Between Visceral Fat and Lipid Profile in Myocardial Infarction Patients

---

cardiovascular disease, even in non-obese individuals. Bioelectrical impedance analysis
(BIA) is a non-invasive and radiation-free method for assessing visceral fat. Not much is
known whether visceral fat correlates with lipid profile in myocardial infarction (MI)
patients in Indonesian population. The purpose of this study was to analyze the
correlation between visceral fat and serum lipid profile in MI patients.
Methods : This is a correlational study on 32 MI patients hospitalized at the ICCU of RSUP
Dr. Kariadi Hospital recruited with consecutive sampling. Visceral fat was measured by
BIA SECA mBCA 525 series, data regarding levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low
density lipoprotein (LDL), and high density lipoprotein (HDL) were gathered from medical
record. The data were normally distributed, then the hypothesis was tested with the
Pearson.
Results : The mean age of the subjects was 55 ± 9.88 years, with 87.5% being male. As
many as 81.3% of subjects experienced ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The
average body mass index (BMI) was 26.2 ± 3.68 kg/m², in which 40.6% of subjects were
classified as grade 1 obesity. The majority of subjects (93.8%) had high visceral fat. As
many as 68.8% of subjects had high LDL levels with an average of 120.5 ± 38.84 mg/dL.
HDL average was 35±13.55 mg/dL with 62.5% of subjects having low HDL levels. More
than half of the subjects (56.3%) experienced hypertriglyceridemia with an average of
157.4 ± 55.84 mg/dL. Visceral fat was significantly related to total cholesterol and
triglycerides (r=0.40; p=0.02 and r=0.36; p=0.04).
Conclusion : There is a significant correlation between visceral fat and total cholesterol
and triglycerides in MI patients.
