نبذة مختصرة : Central obesity is an overweight condition with BMI ≥ 25 and abdominal circumference for men ≥ 90 cm and women ≥ 80 cm. Central obesity has many adverse effects on health and worsens quality of life. Triglycerides as a parameter to measure fat in the body. Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) is an enzyme that plays a role in compensating antioxidant mechanisms against oxidative stress through the extracellular degradation process of glutathione (GSH). This research aims to determine the correlation between GGT and Triglycerides in central obesity. Methods This research is observational, using a cross-sectional approach. The research subjects were 45 medical check-up patients at Prodia Tangerang who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. GGT and Triglyceride examinations were conducted at Roche Cobas C311—data analysis using the Spearman Rank correlation test with a statistic program. After researching 45 respondents of MCU patients with central obesity, it was found that the significance value was p-value=0.024, and the Correlation Coefficient was 0.337. The results showed a relationship between levels of GGT and triglycerides in central obesity. In conclusion, there is a relationship between Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) and triglyceride levels in patients with central obesity. It is recommended to carry out a medical check-up to prevent the development of more severe disease in the future, maintain a diet, and carry out physical activity.
