Abstract

Metabolic health problems are increasingly receiving attention among students because modern lifestyles tend to be less active and unhealthy eating habits. Nutritional status, random blood glucose, and blood pressure are important indicators that can provide an overview of a person's metabolic health status. Low awareness of the importance of metabolic disorders early detection and lack of understanding of the relationship between nutritional status, random blood glucose, and blood pressure can cause delays in preventative action and management of the risk of metabolic disorders. This study aims to determine the relationship between nutritional status, random blood glucose, and blood pressure as factors for early detection of the risk of metabolic disorders in students. This observational study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted in July 2023 in Universitas Respati Yogyakarta and carried out on health students from several health study programs taken by accidental sampling. The number of samples in the research was 35 respondents. The instruments used were microtoise, body scales, digital blood pressure meter, glucometer, and recording sheet. The respondents' average body mass index (BMI) was 25.84, with a body weight of 63.76 kg and a height of 157.31 cm. Respondents' average random blood glucose and blood pressure were respectively 89.63 mg/dL and 112/80 mmHg. Body weight and BMI correlate fairly strongly with diastolic blood pressure, with r=0.394 (p=0.019) and r=0.414 (p=0.013). A relationship exists between body weight and BMI with diastolic blood pressure. It is hoped that the research results will provide further insight into the importance of early detection of metabolic risk in students so that it becomes a more effective prevention and health intervention strategy in the campus environment.
