Physically fit individuals have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. However, it is unknown whether the associations between physical fitness and the metabolic syndrome are independent of total and abdominal adiposity. Physical fitness was defined as the physical work capacity on a cycle ergometer at heart rate of 150 bpm (PWC 150) in a sample of 158 men and 198 women 20-60 years of age. PWC 150 was adjusted for fat-free mass prior to the analyses. Percent body fat was estimated by hydrostatic weighing. Visceral and subcutaneous abdominal fat were measured by computed tomography. The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome was based on two definitions. The metabolic syndrome decreased with increasing fitness in men (approx. 6 times higher in less fit vs. most fit fertile, p <  0.05) and in women (approx. 4 times higher in less fit vs. most fit tertile, p <  0.05). Fitness was negatively associated with most individual components of the metabolic syndrome, except HDL-cholesterol for which the correlation was positive. However, in men and in women, the effects of physical fitness on the individual components of the metabolic syndrome were attenuated after considering total and abdominal adiposity. Key words: aerobic capacity, adiposity, abdominal fat, insulin resistance syndrome

Kegiatan Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk: (1) mendapatkan informasi tentang profil tingkat kebugaran lansia binaan Ikatan Dokter Indonesia (IDI) dan Ikatan Istri Dokter Indonesia (IIDI) Yogyakarta, (2) mendapatkan informasi tentang faktor risiko sindrom metabolik bagi lansia binaan Ikatan Dokter Indonesia (IDI) dan Ikatan Istri Dokter Indonesia (IIDI) Yogyakarta, (3) memberikan pengetahuan bagi lansia binaan Ikatan Dokter Indonesia (IDI) dan Ikatan Istri Dokter Indonesia (IIDI) Yogyakarta tentang pentingnya melakukan aktivitas fisik dan mengetahui parameter sindrom metabolik. Khalayak sasaran utama dari kegiatan ini adalah Kelompok Lansia Teratai Nogotirto, Kelurahan Nogotirto, Kecamatan Gamping Sleman berjumlah 118 orang. Metode kegiatan PPM dilakukan dengan beberapa kegiata meliputi: cek kesehatan, tes pengukuran kebugaran jasmani bagi lansia, serta evaluasi dan penyuluhan. Cek kesehatan meliputi pengukuran tekanan darah, lingkar perut, trigliserida, HDL dan glukosa darah puasa. Penyuluhan diberikan setelah para lansia mendapatkan hasil dari cek kesehatan. Metode penyuluhan dilakukan agar para lansia mempunyai motivasi untuk menjaga kesehatan dan terhindar dari sindrom metabolik yang dapat memicu munculnya penyakit degeneratif. Tes pengukuran kebugaran jasmani meliputi jalan selama 6 menit, fleksibilitas, keseimbangan. Pengisian kuesioner dilakukan untuk mengetahui seberapa penting manfaat kegiatan PPM ini bagi para lansia. Berdasarkan hasil cek kesehatan diperoleh data bahwa sejumlah 78 (66,1%) lansia terindikasi sindrom metabolik. Dan dari sejumlah 78 lansia, 98,71% (77 lansia) yang terindikasi sindrom metabolik adalah perempuan. Dari data lansia laki-laki diperoleh rata-rata usia 61,5 tahun, dengan norma normal jalan 6 menit lansia laki-laki dengan usia tersebut adalah 610 – 735 yards (558-672 meter) dan norma normal jalan 6 menit lansia wanita dengan usia tersebut adalah 545 – 660 yards (498-603 meter). Jadi kesimpulan dari tes kebugaran lansia, baik laki-laki maupun wanita mempunyai tingkat kebugaran yang di atas rata-rata (above average). Physical Activity Counseling and Screening Parameter Metabolic Syndrome in the Elderly PopulationAbstractThe Community Service Program activity aims to: (1) obtain information on the profile of the fitness level of the elderly under the guidance of the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) and the Indonesian Doctors' Wives Association (IIDI) Yogyakarta, (2) obtain information about the risk factors for metabolic syndrome for the elderly under the guidance of the Association Indonesian Doctors (IDI) and the Indonesian Doctors 'Wives Association (IIDI) Yogyakarta, (3) provides knowledge for the elderly assisted by the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) and the Indonesian Doctors' Wives Association (IIDI) Yogyakarta about the importance of physical activity and knowing the parameters of metabolic syndrome. The main target audience for this activity is the Elderly Lotus Group Nogotirto, Kelurahan Nogotirto, Sleman Gamping District, with a total of 118 people. The PPM activity method is carried out with several activities including: health check, physical fitness measurement test for the elderly, as well as evaluation and counseling. Health checks include measurements of blood pressure, stomach circumference, triglycerides, HDL and fasting blood glucose. Counseling is given after the elderly get the results of a health check. The counseling method is done so that the elderly have motivation to maintain health and avoid the metabolic syndrome which can trigger the emergence of degenerative diseases. Physical fitness measurement tests include walking for 6 minutes, flexibility, balance. The questionnaire was filled out to find out how important the benefits of PPM activities are for the elderly. Based on the results of health checks obtained data that a number of 78 (66.1%) elderly indicated metabolic syndrome. And of the 78 elderly, 98.71% (77 elderly) who indicated metabolic syndrome were women. From the data of elderly men obtained an average age of 61.5 years, with the normal norm of walking 6 minutes elderly men with that age is 610 - 735 meters (558-672 meters) and the normal norm of walking 6 minutes elderly women with age these are 545 - 660 yards (498-603 meters). So the conclusion of the elderly fitness test, both men and women have a fitness level that is above average (above average).

Indonesia is currently facing a double burden of disease. The high rate of communicable diseases has been followed by high rates of non-communicable diseases (NCD) such as hypertension, heart disease, cancer and diabetes mellitus. This study aims to produce a holistic approach model in the form of a Wellness Program in an effort to improve physical fitness and decrease of metabolic syndrome for civil servants. This study was designed with an experimental design. Subjects were members of civil servants in Klungkung Regency, Indonesia who have one or more of syndrome metabolic risk. Subjects were divided into two groups, namely the treatment group and the control group. The treatment group is a group that is given a wellness program model in the form of physical exercise according to the rules of frequency, intensity and duration, balanced nutrition education and smoking behavior control. The results show a significant increase in nutritional knowledge (p&lt;0.05), the implementation of physical activity rules with a frequency of 3-5 x/week in 78%, duration 20-60 minutes in 76% of light-moderate exercise, decreased smoking habit significantly p=0.042 (p&lt;0.05), increased physical fitness with VO2max value 29.28 + 7.68 (treatment group) vs 24.28 + 5.91 (control group) with p&lt;0, 05, decreasing of blood sugar was 118.08 + 35.81 mg/dl (treatment group ) vs. 124 + 42.22 mg/dl with p value = 0.001 (p &lt;0.05) with t- independent test. Meanwhile, the risk factor variables for the metabolic syndrome (obesity, cholesterol and blood pressure) showed a decrease but were not significantly different.

Abstract Background Low physical fitness, including muscular strength and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), is a risk factor for the metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, it is unknown how physical fitness at different life stages contributes to the development of MetS. Methods Included were 783 Childhood Determinants of Adult Health Study participants who between 1985 and 2019 had measures of physical fitness (muscular strength: dominant grip strength; CRF: 1.6km run or physical work capacity at 170 beats per minute) at three life stages (childhood=7–15 years, young-adulthood=26–36 years, mid-adulthood=36–49 years) and had their MetS status assessed using the harmonised definition in mid-adulthood. The Bayesian relevant life-course exposure model, a novel statistical analytic technique, quantified associations between physical fitness at each life stage with MetS and estimated the maximum accumulated effect of physical fitness across the life-course. Results The contribution of muscular strength at each life stage with MetS in mid-adulthood was equal (childhood=36%, young-adulthood=31%, mid-adulthood=33%), whereas for CRF the greatest contribution was from childhood and mid-adulthood (childhood=41%, young-adulthood=20%, mid-adulthood=39%). A one standard deviation increase in cumulative physical fitness across the life-course was associated with 36–55% reduced odds of MetS (muscular strength: OR = 0.64, 95%Credible Interval=0.40,0.95; CRF: OR = 0.45, 95%Credible Interval=0.30,0.64). Conclusions As physical fitness at each life stage was associated with MetS in mid-adulthood, strategies aimed at increasing both childhood and adult physical fitness levels could improve future health. Key messages Increased participation in both aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities, beginning in childhood and extending into adulthood, could be encouraged to help prevent MetS.
