DIETARY CARBOHYDRATE AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY WITH PREDIABETES WITHIN ADULT WOMEN

Background & Objective: Prediabetes is a high-risk condition for developing diebetes mellitus. Adult
women have a higher risk of experiencing prediebetes compared with men. Excessive of simple
carbohydrate intake, low of fiber intake and physical activity risk to increasing blood glucose levels. This
study aimed to analyze the correlation between total carbohydrate intake, simple carbohydrate intake, fiber
intake and physical activity with prediabetes in adult women. Materials and Methods: This study used a
case control with 36 women aged 45-55 years old in each group chosen by simple random sampling. Food
intake was assessed using by Semi FFQ. Waist circumference was measured using by a tape measure, and
physical activity was obtained using by Long IPAQ. Data were analyzed using by Chi Square, Fisher Exact
and multiple logistic regression test. Results: There is a difference in mean of waist circumference, fasting
blood glucose, simple carbohydrate intake, fiber intake and physical activity in both groups. The variable at
risk for prediabetes were simple carbohydrate intake (OR=3,94;95%CI 1,23-12,56), fiber intake
(OR=2,63;95%CI 0,91-7,63) and fat intake (OR=2,14;95%CI 0,78-5,84). Intake of simple carbohydrate and
fiber are the most dominant variable that affecting the incidence of prediabetes with a proportion of 14,5%.
There were no correlation between total carbohydrate intake, fiber intake and physical activity with
prediabetes in adult women. Conclusion: Excessive simple carbohydrate intake and low fiber intake were
risk in the occurrence of prediabetes.
