Rosmarinus officinalis is among the most abundant medicinal and aromatic plants in Morocco. There are several factors that influence the yield of quality and quantity of essential oils of this plant. This work focuses on the study, characterization and comparison of the chemical composition of essential oils of Rosmarinus officinalis. The raw material studied is originally from the central part of northern Morocco (Skoura M'Daz region, Eastern Middle Atlas). The essential oils of rosemary were obtained by three different extraction methods : DA: Artisanal distillation, the essential oils were obtained directly from small cooperatives using a very traditional (nonindustrial) method and based on the technique of Steam distillation ; DI: Industrial distillation which is also based on Steam distillation; DC: hydrodistillation by clevenger apparatus Laboratory. The physicochemical characterization of essential oils focuses on the search for the yield of % essential oil with regard to the dry rosemary biomass, density, refractive index and rotatory power. The chemical analyzes were carried out by gas chromatography (GC), they identified 11 components representing more than 99.64% of the essential oil and indicate that the chemotype is 1.8 cineole and is varied according to the method (DI: 48.83%, DA: 41.28% and DC: 51.77%). In conclusion we have shown a quantitative and qualitative loss of essential oils due to the extraction method of essential oils, which has direct repercussions on the economy of rural Morocco and consequently on their sustainable development.

The research was carried out on the Property “El Cartan” that is located in Km 4 way at Puebloviejo-Ventanas, county of Los Ríos. A test was conducted on the hybrid corn DK-1040. This test measures the response of the larvae of insects Spodoptera frugiperda and Elasmopalpus lignosellus to the application of dose of biological and organic insecticides. Also, the most appropriate dose in products was determined with an economic analysis. The experimental design used was random complete blocks with seven treatments and three replicates. The variables evaluated are: percentage of larvae control, number of larvae per plant, corn damage, and yield for hectare. The evaluated variables were subjected to the analysis of variance, and Tukey test was applied to 95 % probability. The analyzed results were determined to apply Neem (Azadirachtina indica) in dose of 1,0 L ha -1 . It diminishes the populations of S. frugiperda and E. lignosellus in relationship to the other active matters applied in the test. Higher doses lead to migration of pests to nearby hosts. The highest yield per hectare was found in the Neem 1.0 L ha-1 treatment with 8,940 kg ha-1.

The aim of the present work is to compare the chemical composition, antibacterial and antifungal activity of two spontaneous species of lavender "Lavandula stoechas L." and "Lavandula dentata L." in Morocco. A phytochemical screening was performed on the aerial part of invested plants. The qualitative variation was revealed in the secondary metabolites of the species studied. Subsequently, the dosage of the crude organic extracts showed that the polyphenol content was higher in the methanol fraction, with an important yield in L. dentata. Also, the essential oils of the aerial part, obtained by hydrodistillation gave higher yields in L. dentata than L. pedunculata. Finally, tests of the antibacterial and antifungal activity of the essential oils of the two species were performed on four strains of bacterial pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus "Gram+," and Escherichia coli; Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirabilis which are Gram-), and three phytopathogenic fungi : Rhizopus stolonifer, Aspergillus brasiliensis and Penicillium expansum, The results obtained showed that the essential oil of L. dentata showed a strong antibacterial activity against the studied strains, particularly against S. aureus. While the antifungal activity revealed that L. pedunculata has a remarkable antifungal power against the fungi tested in comparison with L. dentata.

Published: January 2019

The perceived limits to producing food for a growing global population have been a source of debate and preoccupations for ages. Experts and the public alike seem to alternate between pessimism and optimism, anxiety and complacency, about the world food situation and outlook. Agriculture in the 21st century has multiple challenges. Globally, Agriculture it seems is back on the development agenda to meeting the Millennium Development Goals. The main objective of the paper is to analyse and trace insights of past and present of global agriculture and frame new vision of it. The status of global agriculture in general and continents and country-wise policies in particular from 61 countries of 6 continents were collected and insights are analyzed. These continent-wide policies can safeguard each country’s independence. New Vision for Agriculture calls for a new approach. The new approach of global leaders has aligned around the New Vision for Agriculture. Development of a “Road map for Achievement of the Vision is providing a framework for action and collaboration for global leaders. These includes exchanging ideas, collaborating with international scientists and agricultural institutions is part of the solution. The study found that agriculture must be global agenda in future and all countries should fix minimum support price policy must be world prices with 20% extra. The “double by 2050” analysis from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization revealed that food production in the developing countries would need to almost double The study found that developing countries have witnessed higher demands (2025) for wheat, maize, soybean, pig meat, poultry meat, sheep meat, beef and veal, whereas developed countries have witnessed higher demands for sugar. The globe has to develop a new strategy and global policies to meet the requirements of the rice. The future task of CGIAR&FAO must act as intelligent think tank on acquaint, analyse global research knowledge on future technologies, inventions, income models, latitude based science, space technologies, farm computer, Global Agricultural Growth and Policy coordination, climate financing, genetically modified crops on Mars, understanding too many variable effects on agriculture, digital agriculture, industrial farming, International Agricultural Education and transfer to capacity building of NARES System.

The criteria of non-operative operative management (NOM) of blunt abdominal trauma remains poorly defined in the context of low-income countries. Purpose: To validate a protocol for blunt abdominal trauma by specifying indications for NOM in a resource-limited setting. Material and Method: The study was prospective, carried out over a period of 12 months at Sylvanus Olympio Teaching Hospital Lomé (Togo). It included all patients over 15 years admitted for abdominal blunt trauma. Patients were subjected to NOM or surgery according to systolic blood pressure, response to resuscitation measures, clinical examination, peritoneal tap, abdominal plain radiograph and ultrasound. Results: Sixty-four patients, including 53 men and 11 women, were admitted in the study. The mean age was 27.8 years. Road traffic accidents were the circumstance of the occurrence in all cases. Pneumopéritoneum was found in 3 patients (5.45%). Abdominal ultrasound identified a solid organ injury in 24 patients (43.6%). Spleen lesions were the most frequent injuries. An extra-abdominal lesion was present in 23 patients (35.9%). NOM was initiated in 52 patients (81.25%) and effective in 46 patients (88.4%). The failure of the NOM was due to small intestine perforation in 2 patients, a bladder injury in 1 patient, active bleeding in 1 patient and hemodynamic instability resulting in nontherapeutic laparotomy in 2 patients. Death was observed in 8 patients (12.5%), 2 of whom were in the NOM group. Conclusion: criteria for the NOM of blunt abdominal trauma can be defined according to the local possibilities. Early diagnosis of digestive perforation should remain a priority during clinical monitoring.
Textual Data Mining For Knowledge Discovery and Data Classification: A Comparative Study
Authors: Ur-Rahman Nadeem
Published: January 2019

Business Intelligence solutions are key to enable industrial organisations (either manufacturing or construction) to remain competitive in the market. These solutions are achieved through analysis of data which is collected, retrieved and re-used for prediction and classification purposes. However many sources of industrial data are not being fully utilised to improve the business processes of the associated industry. It is generally left to the decision makers or managers within a company to take effective decisions based on the information available throughout product design and manufacture or from the operation of business or production processes. Substantial efforts and energy are required in terms of time and money to identify and exploit the appropriate information that is available from the data. Data Mining techniques have long been applied mainly to numerical forms of data available from various data sources but their applications to analyse semi-structured or unstructured databases are still limited to a few specific domains. The applications of these techniques in combination with Text Mining methods based on statistical, natural language processing and visualisation techniques could give beneficial results. Text Mining methods mainly deal with document clustering, text summarisation and classification and mainly rely on methods and techniques available in the area of Information Retrieval (IR). These help to uncover the hidden information in text documents at an initial level. This paper investigates applications of Text Mining in terms of Textual Data Mining (TDM) methods which share techniques from IR and data mining. These techniques may be implemented to analyse textual databases in general but they are demonstrated here using examples of Post Project Reviews (PPR) from the construction industry as a case study. The research is focused on finding key single or multiple term phrases for classifying the documents into two classes i.e. good information and bad information documents to help decision makers or project managers to identify key issues discussed in PPRs which can be used as a guide for future project management process.

Purpose: To evaluate the results of thyroidectomy in the Oto-RhinoLaryngology and Neck Surgery office of the National Hospital of Niamey in Niger. Materials and methods: we analyzed the epidemiological aspects, the indications, the technics and the evolution of thyroidectomy through a retrospective and descriptive study conducted from January 2010 to December 2015. Results: Thyroidectomy represents 8, 51% (n = 236/2773) of the ENT operative activities and an average of 47.2 cases per year for 5 years. Among the patients, there were 15 men and 221 women, a sex ratio of 0.17. The mean age was 37.25 years (extreme 22 and 61 years). The operative indications are dominated by multinodular goiter euthyroid (43.22%), thyroid nodules (39.40%), hyperthyroidism (goiter and Basedow) and substernal goiters, respectively, representing 8.90% and 6.35%. The gestures performed were subtotal thyroidectomy in 56 cases (23.73%), complete thyroidectomy in 85 cases (36.02%) and lobo-isthmectomy in 95 cases (40.25%). The recurrent nerve was searched in 235 cases (99%) and found in 215 cases (91, 10%). It was found 1 case (0.42%) of splitting of the left nerve recurrent. 2 cases (0.84%) of immediate postoperative hemorrhage was recorded. Morbidity was 0.29% with 4 cases of definitive unilateral recurrent paralysis and 3 cases of transient hypoparathyroidism. No mortality was encountered. Conclusion: The thyroidectomy is a frequent intervention in the ENT and Neck Surgery office of the National Hospital of Niamey. Multinodular goiter remains the first surgical indication. Recurrent and hypoparathyroid morbidity was very low.

Urban green spaces are essential to ensure the quality of life and the fulfillment of town-dwellers. The objective of this research is to assess the richness of public green spaces in the great Nokoué cities (AbomeyCalavi, Cotonou, Ouidah, Porto-Novo and Sèmè-Podji). The itinerary method was used to find the greens spaces whose list was obtained in the town halls. For each public green space found, the geo-referencing (tracking), the determination of the area of the public places and the measurement of the length of the tracks were made. The results revealed that the great Nokoué cities have 114 public green spaces which can be classified in four types (green Spaces of Tribes 4,39 %, Green Spaces of Pathways 13,16 %, Parks and Squares 26,32 % and Public Roads Alignment Trees 58,77 %). Cotonou is the city of the great Nokoué richest in public green spaces (61,95 %) whereas Ouidah has the highest ratio of public green spaces per inhabitant (Ouidah, 0.27 m2 /hbt, Porto-Novo, 0.18 m2 /hbt , Cotonou, 0.12 m2 /hbt Abomey-Calavi 0,06 m2 /hbt and Sèmè -Podji, 0,06 m2 /hbt ). No city of the great Nokoué has reached the ratio of 10 m2 of public green space per inhabitant as recommended by OMS. It is therefore important that urban authoritys give far greater attention to public green spaces (gardens, parks, squares, etc.) in future development plans.

Published: January 2019

In northern Middle Atlas, the Dayet Iffère is located in an area affected by karst and tectonic. After its watershed genesis of middle altitude during the upper Pleistocene, two lacustrine formation were deposed. The detailed sedmentological study as well as the correlations between the different lacustrine formations defined in Dayet Afourgagh and Dayet Agoulmam, and the 14C dating allowed to reconstitute the major stages of the filling evolution of the lake basin and its sedimentary dynamic. The variations of sedimentation are interpreted as climatic fluctuations and evolution of vegetation since upper Soltanien. These results show a complex interaction between sedimentary processes and climatic phenomena that tend to a stability marked by heat, permanent humidity and a fairly dense vegetation cover at the end of the Soltanian, after probably a hot arid to semi-arid episode.

We present a sustainable management model capable of delivering timely products and services demanded by public and private tourism stakeholders. The case study is for the strategic decision-making of the tourism sector in Riobamba County, Ecuador, within the framework of a Tourism Observatory as a means of information management. Other cases of information management related to tourism and literature on national and international tourist observatories were analyzed. Locally, information gaps were identified through personal interviews with actors in the sector. The preferred organizational structure follows the Red Model, which uses the construction of knowledge as a barometer of quality, an opportunity for investment, market research, learning spaces and exchange of experiences. It also presents the profile of services and products that will be offered by the observatory, flow of processes, financing alternatives and strategic alliances for its operation. Our research demonstrates the willingness of tourism stakeholders to move from information management to knowledge management. It is concluded that our Information and Knowledge Management Model could be promoted in the future as an alternative to address real problems in information management. We recommend implementing our Information and Knowledge Management Model because it demonstrates a contribution to the generation of unique and transferable knowledge among tourism stakeholders. It is indispensable for stakeholder institutions to work in coordination with joint responsibility for the success of the Tourism Observatory.

Published: January 2019

This research is aimed to evaluate the management model for the operation of the shelters Carrel and Whymper within La Reserva de Produccion de Fauna Chimborazo (RPFCH – acronym in Spanish for this protected area) through the design and implementation of an evaluation matrix. This matrix tool is specifically designed to evaluate management models and operations of tourist services in protected areas. The model integrates three criteria that have to do with social, economic and environmental sustainability. The matrix has been designed based on four components: 1) The sustainability indicators created by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (CEPAL – acronym in Spanish), 2) A corporate social responsibility approach, 3) The global criteria of sustainable tourism and 4) A guide to good practices of sustainable tourism. These matrix components were adapted to the conditions of the tourist services offered at the Carrel and Whymper shelters. The evaluation detected that the current management model meets only 40% of the evaluation indicators sustainability criteria, which demonstrates a poor sustainability model. Based on this review, a new management approach is suggested under the eco-efficient shelters model. This ensures that the investors not only reach economic profitability, but also they obtain longterm environmental and social sustainability. This model not only establishes parameters that allow for investors to make the appropriate economic and management decisions, but also establishes policies that ensure the conservation of protected areas

The survey aims at assessing current managing status of organizations involves in the conservation of local genetic diversity of rice, maize, sorghum and pearl millet in seedbanks located in northern Côte d’Ivoire. An investigation was conducted with 100 respondents in charge of cereal seedbanks managing from Ferkessedougou and Ouangolodougou areas. The results at regional scale revealed two co-existing informal and formal systems for seedbanks management in these areas. The farmers’ seedbanks system or informal system was the main source of cereal seed supply for farmers and more important than the national or formal seedbank system. Only, farmers’ seedbanks of two crops, rice and maize were found in visited localities. The management of these farmers’ seedbanks was enabled by associations or cooperatives gathering more men (78.27%) than women (21.73%). Ninety percent (90%) of respondents were identified as saving 1 to 3 traditional varieties of cereal in these seedbanks managed by farmers in the studied region. The reveled difficulties in the farmers’ seedbanks management appeared mainly as informally organized seed system that must be a complementary approach to formal system or national seed system for genetic diversity preservation of local cereal varieties and also as a distribution channel of improved cereal varieties.

Published: January 2019

The ultimate goal of an endodontic treatment is to achieve the fluid tight seal particularly at the apex as well as in coronal aspect of the root canal system. This is mainly influenced by the cleaning and shaping of root canal system and it has been recognized as an important phase of endodontic therapy. Cleaning and shaping as well as obturation are best accomplished when the file taper claimed by the manufacturer is accurate and the taper of the canal following instrumentation corresponds to the taper of the file. Despite the most advanced technology in manufacturing of dental instruments, variations in endodontic file tapers still exist. Therefore the purpose of this study is to compare the taper variation in root canal preparations among the three different NiTi files using CBCT. Methods: 24 upper 1st molar tooth with mesiobuccal root curvature 15-30 degree were selected and divided into three groups. Mesiobuccal roots (MB1) of three groups were prepared by three different NiTi file system respectively up to size25 taper.06 and CBCT were done separately for each group. The diameter was measured at 1, 3, and orifice in mm and canal taper preparation was calculated using CBCT. Result: Of the 3 file systems, fell within the ±.05 taper variability. All preparations demonstrated variability when compared to the nominal taper .06. Conclusion: Taper preparations of the investigated size 25 taper .06 were favorable but different from the nominal taper.

In this paper, we discussed the main aspects of the various development carried out on the subject of "Operating systems" and "Evaluation systems of data processing" for the degree course in information systems of the FaCENA from the UNNE. Here, emphasis was placed on various algorithms for the analysis of performance in calculation systems. The motivation for the realization of this work is based on the fact that students often encounter difficulties in identifying the formula that should be used in each of the statements of the practical exercises during performance analysis. The proposal aims to provide students with a tool to complement the developed in class. It was a web application designed to encourage the process of teaching - learning, based on an applet that acts as a container in using different interfaces. Each one of them represents the execution of a method of evaluation of performance, including the law of Amdhal, performance, improvement, comparative analysis, operational analysis, workload characterization, and capacity planning. In addition, a web application that allows the self-assessment of student in achieving learning outcomes was developed. The implementation of web application, however, makes use of the b-learning, model of teaching and learning combined, that collects the advantages of the model to distance. It also takes advantage of the importance of the group, the rhythm of learning, and the direct contact with the Professor.

The objective of this study is to analyze the factors that explain the amounts of willingness to pay (WTP) of households for the implementation of a sustainable management program of Adjamey forest in the district of Djakotomey in South-West of Benin. Indeed, the bordering populations of this forest are frequently faced with the problem of the devastation of their crops by the hippopotamuses. These in turn undergo anthropological actions causing the continued loss of their habitat. The data were collected on 110 bordering households using a semi-structured questionnaire. Based on the two-step selection model of Heckman, this study revealed that the households participation to the program of sustainable management of this forest is influenced by factors such as: the origin and level of education of the surveyed households, the fact of having been victims of the damage caused by the hippopotamuses and the fact that the household wishes an improvement of the management of this forest. Moreover, the study shows that the total area held in the forest, the total income drawn from the activities related to the forest, the membership in a management committee and the fact that the hippopotamuses are considered as a threat constitute to the explanatory factors of the amounts of willingness to pay (WTP) declared by the households.

Published: January 2019

We aim to Provide facts about the vaccination coverage for combined vaccines such as MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) and DTP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis) containing vaccines in use in Albania during the last 10 years, in order to confirm the stability of immunization program. One of the reasons for coverage improvement is the use of one or two-dose vials for the administration of MMR vaccine, enabling the vaccination of children at any time, without the need of gathering them on certain days when the multi-dose vaccine vials are opened. In the last three years, according to WHO recommendations, it was noted that vaccination coverage with three doses containing DTP is at sustainable levels, always above 95%, but for our country this value goes sometimes above 98%. As for the use of pentavalent vaccine, from 2008, DTP-HepB-Hib, also the coverage of Hepatitis b vaccine is always at upper levels due to its use on 5 in 1 combination. The application of this vaccine was associated with the use of one dose vial administration, therefore one vaccine to a child. Immunization coverage for vaccines with measles component remains at very high levels for both doses of vaccine, more then 95%. Immunization coverage for vaccines with DTP component exceeds 95% rate at country level, for each district it exceeds 95% and it reaches the value of 98.5% for the last two years. During the last years the vaccine coverage is increased significantly as a result of using combined vaccine of DTP-HepB -Hib. The use of one dose vials has played an important role on sustaininig and increasing vaccination coverage.

The present study was carried out to inventory medicinal plants storage conditions on the markets of Abidjan district. A survey was conducted from August to October 2015 in three settings of the district of Abidjan (Abobo, Adjame and Yopougon). A total of 350 sellers of medicinal plants were interrogated using semi-structured interviews. The respondents were predominantly female (98.9%), aged between 30 and 60 years. The supply of medicinal plants in the markets was done by the wholesalers (86%) who themselves harvested plants in different forests or savanah of Côte d’Ivoire. The majority of sellers (73%) did not apply any measure of hygiene in storage. These people in 99.4% of case were not trained on good storage practices. Sale places were accessible to rodents and exposed to dust caused by traffic jamp. The presence of mud (9.1%) and garbage (23.1%) was noted in the immediate surrounding of the displays. These practices of processing and storage of medicinal plants were similar in all the visited settings. These storage conditions may constitute a hazardous risk for the consumer and justify the degradation of medicinal plants on the markets.

Background: people live at various areas of sea level may have different patterns of anti-hypertensive drugs. Such a relation has never been reported in Jordan. Study objectives: the current study investigated how the sea level will impact the prevalence of hypertension in these areas, and how will affect the pharmacological properties of such a population. Methodology: a cross-sectional study design was involved to collect data from study participants. A total of 1000 participants were randomly selected from the two study areas. 500 participants from each. Participants were matched for age and gender. Blood pressure were measured for all participants. Blood samples were withdrawn to investigate the level of angiotensin II. Data was collected through organizing a working excel sheet and was further analyzed through using SPSS version 20. Data was presented as means, standard deviations, frequencies and percentages. The relationships between variables were examined using independent T-test. Significance was measured at an alpha < 0.05. Study findings: the main findings of the present study were that the mean of SBP is significantly higher in the Dead Sea (122.42±10.53 mmHg) than the Sea level area (118.07±11.64 mmHg), (p=0.001). Another significant variable was MBP which its mean was 91.64 ± 8.90 mmHg in the Dead Sea and 89.84 ± 8.72 mm Hg. The difference in the mean was statistically significant (p=0.001). The level of angiotensin II was 8.84 ± 4.65pg/ml in the Dead Sea area and 11.21± 6.05pg/ml in the area of the Sea level. The difference in the mean of the two study areas was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusions: although the level of angiotensin II was not significantly varied between the study areas, but its trend was to be higher in the Sea level area. It was surprised to have higher levels of SBP and MBP in the Dead Sea rather than the Seal level area. It can be implied that the therapeutic options of hypertensive drugs follow different patterns independent of angiotensin II pathways.

This study employed the multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) procedure to examine the influence of students’ sex, age and course of study (department) on mathematics performance in Nalerigu Senior High School of the East Mampurisi district in the Northern of Ghana. The results showed that male students perform better on the average for all the mathematics performance indicators (understanding, knowledge and perception). The MANOVA analysis revealed that students performance in mathematics do not differ across sex (gender) and age group. The results however showed that there was significant difference in performance of mathematics across course of study (department). However, the univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) results revealed that there was no sex difference in understanding and knowledge of mathematics while significant differences exist in perception of mathematics among male and female students. Further, the study revealed a significant difference in students understanding and knowledge in mathematics and no bias in perception of mathematics among students age. The study therefore recommended that, the Ministry of Education, school managements and other stakeholders such as Non Governmental Organizations should sensitize students to discard beliefs and practices that prohibit effective participation of female students which result to poor performance in mathematics.

Organic nitrogen concentration and nitrifying efficiency were related with aerobic reactor operation time, varying from zero up to 50 days and working as a Conventional Activated Sludge System, inoculated with sludge from a trickling filter system, packed with plastic media. The total nitrogen concentration at the beginning was adjusted to 70 mg/dm3 , by means of lysine addition and, and the corresponding to dissolved oxygen stayed at least in 3 mg/dm3 . The maximum nitrification efficiency for converting total nitrogen to nitrate was 86%, and about 30 days, was not significantly increased and the alkalinity (expressed as CaCO3) was reduced from 425 down to 57 mg/dm3 , decreasing about 7,50 mg/dm3 for each mg/dm3 of organic nitrogen converted to nitrate.

Weeds are the most important biological constraint reducing rice production. This study was conducted to know the physiological characteristics and the germinative behavior of the seeds of Rottboellia cochinchinensis, Euphorbia heterophylla and Porophyllum ruderale, three major weeds of rice field in Côte d'Ivoire. Seed characteristics were determined according to ISTA’s standards. These three weeds had orthodox seeds with low moisture content (< 15%). These weeds raise better when they were sown on the surface (0-0.5 cm) or slightly buried in the ground. E. heterophylla and P. ruderale germinated well when their seeding density is high (150 seeds/Petri dish). For R. cochinchinensis, when the seedling density is low (25 seeds/Petri dish). The germination was maximum after five to nine days.

Moroccan SMEs do not use generally capital market due to rigidity of the conditions. Moroccan authorities have introduced the measurements to deal with this problem and to encourage SMEs to access in the capital market since 2000. However, these measures were less efficient because they are multiple reason, but indeed, it still attributed to the financial and institutional conditions of access to capital market. The article target is to analyze capital market reforms and its contribution to financing Moroccan SMEs. In order to help us to determine the constraints of access the SMEs to direct finance. In fact, to achieve the target we need to adopt a methodology based on the analysis of secondary statistics and official reports of the main actors of the capital markets in Morocco.

Published: January 2019

Background: Prevalence of obesity in Indonesia, was increase especially for pre- elderly to elderly which age group 55-64 years of the highest obesity. Insulin resistance that occurs in the obese group can lead to a decrease in insulin work that causes increased glucose levels.Purpose: Aim of the research was to know the correlation between waist-hip circumference ratio and body mass index with blood glucose level. Methods: The study design was cross sectional.  Respondents of this study were 36 elderly with aged beetwen 46-70 years who were registered in elderly posyandu. Sampling used simple random sampling techniques. The variabels of this study were the body mass index, waist-hip circumference ratio and fasting blood glucose level. Data were analyzed using pearson correlation test with a signifi cance level (α) = 0,05. Results: This research showed that, based on body mass index, most of respondents fall into overweight 2 category by 36,10%, abdominal obesity based on waist hip circumference ratio by 63,90% and blood glucose level more than 125 mg/dl by 25%. The result of pearson correlation test showed that there was relationship between waist-hip circumference ratio with blood glucose levels which statistically proved p < 0.05 (p = 0.01; r = 0.486). There was no  relationship between mass index with blood glucose levels which statistically proved p > 0.05  (p = 0.316; r = 0.172).  Conclusion: Waist-hip circumference ratio as strongest factor correlation with blood glucose level when compared with body mass index.
