Abstract

Overweight and obesity in developing countries is a health problem. An increase in body mass index associated with an increase in inflammatory media, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia especially LDL and hypertriglycerides is thought to be a trigger for stroke. Obesity can occur as a result of light physical activity due to an imbalance between energy expenditure and calorie intake. The analytic observational research method used a cross sectional design. The study population was overweight and obese adolescents aged 10-19 years. Nonprobability sampling technique (accidental sampling) with 60 respondents. Data analysis with Pearson's correlation analysis test and discriminant analysis test. Physical activity is a risk factor for stroke in obese adolescents with a sig value of 0.015 where obese adolescents who have low physical activity have a 2 times greater risk of stroke than obese adolescents who have moderate or high activity. Physical activity is not only important for losing weight but for reducing the risk due to increased body weight, one of which is stroke.
