The Relationship Between Body Fat Percentage And Visceral Fat In Fikk Unm Students
Keywords:
Persentase body fat, visceral fat
Abstract
The body will use calories as needed and store the excess in the form of fat tissue. Body fat percentage is a picture of the amount of fat stored in the body, while visceral fat is the fat that surrounds internal organs and is often associated with an increased risk of metabolic disease. This study aims to find out the correlation between body fat percentage and visceral fat. This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The measurement of body fat percentage and visceral fat was carried out using the bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) method. The results of the analysis showed a significance value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05) with a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.757, which indicates a strong and significant relationship between the two variables. Thus, it can be concluded that body fat percentage has a strong positive correlation with visceral fat.
