Key result
Point-of-care screening identifies specific BMI and visceral fat cutoffs predicting hypertension and hyperuricemia in women.
Why the study?
Metabolic syndrome disproportionately affects women in Indonesia, and early detection via biomarkers is essential to provide insights into its prevalence and risk factors.
Population

May support targeted screening in Indonesian women; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Cross-Sectional (n=139)
Point-of-care metabolic health screening in Indonesian women identified specific cutoff values for body weight, BMI, and visceral fat index that predict hypertension and hyperuricemia.
Yustisia et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiometabolic risk factors (n=139). Age and obesity indices was evaluated on Hypertension, hyperuricemia, hypercholesterolemia, and obesity. Point-of-care health screening in 139 women identified cutoff values for predicting hypertension (body weight 57.7 kg, BMI 24.8 kg/m2) and hyperuricemia (visceral fat index 8.8).
