DESCRIPTION OF THE RESULTS OF URIC ACID EXAMINATION IN OBESITE STUDENTS AT THE BINA MANDIRI UNIVERSITY GORONTALO CAMPUS

Abstract

Obesity is associated with increased uric acid levels because kidney excretion tends to be low. Obesity can occur at all ages, both children and the elderly. The aim of the research was to determine the results of uric acid examination in obese students at the Bina Mandiri University Gorontalo Campus. Based on the sample studied, why should we use a student sample because the respondents who will be sampled are students on the Bina Mandiri University Gorontalo campus. The method in this research uses descriptive research with a cross sectional design and a quantitative approach. The type of data used is primary data in the form of data obtained or collected directly in the field by researchers from the respondents concerned. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling technique, with a sample size of 10 samples. The results of the research were that there were 6 samples (60%) that were abnormal and 4 samples (40%) that were normal. Based on the results of the research that has been carried out, it can be concluded that there are 6 samples (60%) that are abnormal and 4 samples (40%) that are normal, then the lowest uric acid level in obese students is 3.7 mg/dl and the highest level is 3.7 mg/dl. 7.8 mg/dl, with an average value of 6.1 mg/dl.
