<p><em>Obesitas terjadi karena akumulasi lemak berlebih di dalam tubuh. Akumulasi lemak menimbulkan low grade inflammation pada jaringan adiposa, menyebabkan peningkatan sitokin inflamasi seperti tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1 beta, dan interleukin-6 (IL-6). Peningkatan sekresi IL-6 merangsang hepar meningkatkan produksi protein fase akut. High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) sebagai penanda inflamasi merupakan protein fase akut. Low density lipoprotein (LDL-kolesterol) adalah lipoprotein yang paling banyak mengandung kolesterol. Peningkatan kadar hs-CRP dan kadar LDL-kolesterol pada obesitas diidentifikasi sebagai faktor risiko aterosklerosis. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan hs-CRP dengan LDL-kolesterol pada penyandang obes, merupakan penelitian analitik rancangan potong lintang dilakukan  September 2018 sampai Agustus 2019. Kadar hs-CRP diperiksa dengan metode enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA), sedangkan kadar LDL-kolesterol dengan metode kalkulasi (rumus Friedewald). Uji korelasi Spearman digunakan untuk menganalisi data, jika didapatkan nilai p&lt;0,05 korelasi dinyatakan bermakna. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 26 penyandang obes terdiri dari 6 laki-laki (23,1%) dan 20 perempuan (76,9%). Rerata umur subjek penelitian adalah 36,46(7,68) tahun. Rerata kadar hs-CRP dan kadar LDL-kolesterol adalah 5,08(1,28) mg/L dan  154,69(45,8) mg/dL. Analisis korelasi menunjukkan korelasi positif lemah dan tidak bermakna secara statistik antara kadar hs-CRP dengan kadar LDL-kolesterol (r= 0,333, p=0,096). Simpulan: Terdapat korelasi positif lemah antara kadar hs-CRP dengan kadar LDL-kolesterol pada penyandang obes.</em></p><p><strong><em>Kata kunci</em></strong><em>: </em><em>Obesitas, High Sensitivity C-Reactive, Low Density Lipoprotein</em><em></em></p>

In statin therapy, the prognostic role of achieved low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) in cardiovascular outcomes has not been fully elucidated. A total of 4,803 percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-naïve patients who prescribed moderate intensity of statin therapy were followed up. Total and each component of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) according to LDL-C and hsCRP quartiles were compared. The incidence of 5-year total MACEs in the highest quartile group according to the followed-up hsCRP was higher than that in the lowest quartile (hazard ratio (HR) = 2.16, p<0.001). However, there was no difference between the highest and lowest quartiles of the achieved LDL-C (HR = 0.95, p=0.743). After adjustment of potential confounders, the incidence of total death, de novo PCI, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure in the highest quartile of followed-up hsCRP, was higher than that in the lowest quartile (all p<0.05). However, other components except for de novo PCI in the highest quartile by achieved LDL-C was not different to that in the lowest quartile. These results suggest that followed-up hsCRP can be more useful for predicting future cardiovascular outcome than achieved LDL-C in PCI-naïve patients with statin therapy.
