Abstract: Obesity is one of
health problems in Indonesia. The trend of obesity is closely related to diet.
Various factors play a role in the onset of obesity, but the most influence is
the imbalance between food intake and physical activity. Obesity is condition
where body’s weight is more than an ideal weight, which is affected by
accumulation of fatty tissue or non fatty tissue including muscle, bone, fat
and water. Factors affecting the occurrence of obesity are genetic, damage to
one part of the brain, patterns of overeating, lack of movement / exercise,
emotional impact, environmental, social economic and influence of drugs. This
study used Waist Hip Circumference Ratio. Waist Hip Circumference Ratio can be
used to detect excess fat on a person's body and accurately to detect the cause
of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) risk, some types of cancers,
hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension. The purpose of this study was to
determine the correlation between knowledge of obesity and housewives’ Waist
Hip Circumference Ratio in Pepe Krajan village, Tegowanu district, Grobogan
town.
The results of the correlation test with 50 sample respondents showed
that 56,0 % of respondents have high-level knowledge about obesity, 32.0% of
respondents have mediumlevel knowledge about obesity, and 12.0% of respondents
have a low-level knowledge about obesity. The greatest number of obesity cases
occurs in the age group of 30-39 years, which were 15 people (30.0%). Most of
housewives are graduated under elementary school, which is 50%. In addition,
56.0% of housewives do not have occupation. Respondents who have highest Waist
Hip Circumference Ratio were 6 people (12.0%). Spearman Rank-analysis results
showed there is no correlation between housewives’ knowledge about obesity and
their waist hip ratio, with a value of r = - 0.746 and p = 0.000. To sum up,
the higher the knowledge level is the lower their waist hip ratio is.
