HUBUNGAN ANTARA INDEKS ADIPOSITAS DAN MORFOLOGI AURIKULA PADA MAHASISWA PROGRAM STUDI PENDIDIKAN DOKTER FAKULTAS KEDOKTERAN UNIVERSITAS SRIWIJAYA
Background: Adiposity indices are anthropometric measures used to assess the amount and distribution of body fat. Changes in fat distribution may influence the morphology of various body parts, including the auricle. The auricle exhibits variations in shape and size that may reflect changes in adipose tissue composition. This study aims to determine the relationship between adiposity indices and auricular morphology among students of the Medical Education Program, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sriwijaya. Methods: This analytical observational study employed a cross-sectional design involving 335 students aged 18–25 years (108 males and 227 females), selected using total sampling. Primary data were collected, including measurements of auricular morphology and anthropometric adiposity indices. The Mann–Whitney and Kruskal–Wallis tests were used to analyze the relationships between variables. Result: Most participants were 20 years old and female (67.8%). The mean measurements of auricular morphology included height of 59.35 mm, width of 26.39 mm, lobule width of 14.36 mm, and auricular area of 1596 mm2. Significant associations were found between BMI (p=0.000) and WHtR (p=0.032) with auricular morphology. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that higher adiposity is associated with increased auricular dimensions, with BMI identified as the strongest predictor of auricular morphology.
