Abstract :
Metabolic syndrome consists of a set of
symptoms including increased waist circumference,
increased blood triglyceride levels, decreased levels of highdensity lipoprotein (HDL)-blood cholesterol, high blood
pressure, and glucose intolerance. Risk factors for
metabolic syndrome include lifestyle (diet, alcohol
consumption, smoking, physical activity), socioeconomic
and genetics, as well as stress. This research is to determine
the determinants of the incidence of metabolic syndrome in
Semarang Health Polytechnic students during the Covid19
pandemic. The independent variable is physical activity,
and the dependent variable is a metabolic syndrome which
includes: waist circumference, BMI, blood glucose levels
and blood HDL. The research sample was 31 students. The
results indicate that students of Semarang Health
Polytechnic are 70.97% in light activity; 77.45% with
average waist circumference; 87.10% with normal BMI,
74.19% in normal blood glucose and 35.48% with normal
blood HDL during the covid19 pandemic. However, there is
no relationship between physical activity carried out by
Semarang Health Polytechnic students and changes in waist
circumference, BMI, blood glucose and blood HDL during
the covid19 pandemic.
