Abstract

Introduction: Imbalance in consumption and activities has been major serious health problems nowadays and tend to become obesity. In some studies, obesity has been associated with increasing intraocular pressure, which is a risk factor for glaucoma.
Aim: This study aims to analyze the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and intraocular pressure in Eye Clinic at Mangusada Regional Hospital.
Method: This was a cross-sectional study held in Eye Clinic at Mangusada Hospital in May 2020. Inclusion criteria were people aged between 20 – 55 years old, with normal blood pressure (systolic < 139 mmHg, diastolic < 89 mmHg). The exclusion criteria were people who had history of cardiovascular diseases, diagnosed glaucoma before, had contraindication to tonometry use, consumes drug affecting cardiovascular system, and had family history of cardiovascular, kidney, liver, and lungs diseases. Body weight was measured with body scale, body height was measured with height meter, BMI was calculated with formula of body weight in kilogram divided by square of body height in meter, blood pressure was measured by Scanner Tensimeter and intraocular pressure was measured with rebound tonometer I-care TA01i. Data was analyzed using Kruskal-Walis and Mann Whitney Test with p < 0.05 as level of significance.
Results: The study of 85 subjects found significant difference in intraocular pressure in normoweight, overweight, and obesity subjects. This study also found significant difference in intraocular pressure between normoweight and obesity subjects.
Conclusion: Intraocular pressure simultaneously increase with the increasing of BMI.
