dc.description.abstract | Background
Stroke is a global health problem whose incidence is increasing every year. Metabolic
syndrome is known as an independent risk factor for stroke which is characterized by
a group of risk factors: obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia
and low high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Previous studies have stated
that there is a significant relationship between metabolic syndrome and the score of
the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS).
Objective
This study aims to examine the correlation between the insulin resistance,
anthropometric index and atherogeic index of plasma (AIP) with NIHSS score in
Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients without diabetes mellitus (DM).
Methods
This research is analytic correlation with cross-sectional design. The study sample
consisted of 59 acute ischemic stroke patients without DM. Height, waist
circumference and NIHSS scores were assessed on the first day of treatment.
Anthropometric index is assessed based on the results of examination of height and
waist circumference. The atherogenic index of plasma was assessed based on the
examination of the lipid profile. Insulin resistance was assessed based on examination
of the lipid profile, fasting blood sugar and waist circumference. Data analysis used
the Spearman test.
Results
The mean age of the 59 subjects is 57,10±11,79 years, the majority were male
(57,6%), the majority were Batak (55,9%), the last education was high school (61%),
and the majority occupation are Self-employed (40,7%). The mean insulin resistance
441(324.52-624.36) cm.mg/dl, the mean anthropometric index 116.07±12.49
consisting of mean BMI 21.6(17.8-22.7) kg/m2, the mean waist circumference 92(71-
121) ) cm and mean RLP-TB was 0.59 ± 0.08 cm, then the mean AIP was 0.09 ±
0.24 mg/dl and the mean NIHSS score was 4 (2-14). There is a significant weak
positive correlation between insulin resistance and the NIHSS score with p <0.012
and r=0.327. There is a significant weak positive correlation between the
anthropometric index and the NIHSS score with p <0.025 and r=0.291. There is no
significant correlation between AIP and NIHSS scores.
Conclusion
There is a significant weak positive correlation between insulin resistance and
anthropometric index with the NIHSS score of acute ischemic stroke patients without
DM. | en_US |
