The waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) is a sensitive anthropometric indicator for detecting visceral fat distribution and cardiometabolic risk. Meanwhile, functional capacity can be assessed through the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), reflecting patients' ability to perform daily activities. However, few studies have examined the relationship between WHtR and 6MWT, particularly in CCS</em></p> <p><strong><em>Objective</em></strong><em>: To determine the correlation between WHtR and 6MWT results in CCS patients at Hj. Bunda Halimah Hospital, Batam City. </em></p> <p><strong><em>Methods:</em></strong><em> This pilot study with cross-sectional design involved 20 selected patients with consecutive sampling. </em><em>All patients were given optimal CCS treatment and were chronic patients of cardiac outpatient clinic</em><em>. Data were collected through anthropometric measurements (waist circumference and height) and 6MWT following standard protocol. Pearson’s correlation test was used to analyze the relationship between WHtR and 6MWT results. </em></p> <p><strong><em>Results:</em></strong><em> Most respondents had central obesity with WHtR ≥ 0.5 (55%). The mean 6MWT distance was 448.10 m in the control group and 429.40 m in the intervention group (<strong>p&lt;0.001</strong>). Pearson’s test revealed a significant negative correlation between WHtR and 6MWT (<strong>r = -0.719; p &lt; 0.001</strong>). There was a significant negative relationship between WHtR and 6MWT results in CCS patient.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Discussion and Conclusion:</em></strong><em> This study shows that a higher WHtR results in a shorter 6MWT distance, or lower functional capacity, in patients with CCS who have received optimal treatment. This suggests that a high WHtR indicates the presence of residual risk factors such as inflammation and ongoing oxidative stress. WHtR is not only a simple indicator for predicting functional capacity and cardiometabolic risk in this population, but also serves as a target for cardiac rehabilitation to improve the functional capacity. </em></p> <p><em>&nbsp;</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><em>&nbsp;Coronary artery disease; WHtR; 6-Minute Walk Test; functional capacity; central obesity.</em></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> Surya Marthias, Shania Aulia Putri, Andi Ipaljri Saputra Copyright (c) 2025 Surya Marthias, Shania Aulia Putri, Andi Ipaljri Saputra https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 https://ejurnal.univbatam.ac.id/index.php/zonadokter/article/view/1943 Tue, 14 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0800 HUBUNGAN PENYAJIAN SUSU FORMULA DENGAN KEJADIAN DIARE PADA BAYI USIA 6 -12 BULAN DI PUSKESMAS LUBUK BAJA KOTA BATAM https://ejurnal.univbatam.ac.id/index.php/zonadokter/article/view/1944 <p><strong><em>ABSTRACT</em></strong></p> <p><strong>Background: </strong><em>Diarrhea is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in infants in Indonesia.
