What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a widely used screening tool for weight status classification. Uric acid and blood glucose are metabolic parameters closely linked to nutritional status and regulated in part by insulin. This study aimed to analyze the association between BMI and uric acid and blood glucose levels among college students. An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on 57 second-year D-III Medical Laboratory Technology students. BMI was measured anthropometrically, and venous blood samples were analyzed for uric acid and blood glucose, both categorized for analysis. Data were analyzed using the Pearson Chi-square test. The obesity category showed the highest proportion of elevated uric acid, 6 of 19 obese participants (31.6%), and elevated blood glucose, 9 of 19 (47.4%). A borderline significant association was found between BMI and uric acid level (p=0.050); assumption checks indicated caution given small expected cell counts, and an exact test supported the association (p=0.046). BMI was significantly associated with blood glucose level (p=0.007). These findings suggest BMI category is associated with metabolic risk markers in this student population, though the cross-sectional design does not support causal interpretation
