Abstract

There are many anthropometry indices used for determining obesity. Wrist circumference and neck circumference are alternative clinical tools and easy to use for the indicator of obesity. This cross sectional study aimed to assess the sensitivity and specificity of obesity detection based on wrist and neck circumference. A total of 85 students aged 17-21 years was randomly sampled from 11 faculties of Diponegoro University Semarang. Measurements included height, height, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-hip circumference ratio, wrist circumference, neck circumference, all done according to standard protocol. Correlation among data was analysed using Pearson or Spearman tests. Both wrist circumference and neck circumference showed positive association with all anthropometric measurements. Wrist and neck circumference were significantly higher in obese adolescents than normal-weight adolescents. Wrist circumference (Se 72% and Sp 71,67%) had better performance than neck circumference (Se 84% and Sp 42%) in predicting obesity. In conclusion, wrist circumference is better than neck circumference for predicting obesity in adolescents.
