Assessment of fasting gallbladder volume using ultrasound imaging in relation to weight and body mass index among female students for detection of asymptomatic gallstones

Gallstone disease is a common medical condition in Malaysia. Females are more prone to gallstones compared to males. Some studies have shown that weight and body mass index (BMI) impacts on the formation of gallstone. Thus, the purpose of this research was to assess the fasting gallbladder volume in...

Females are more prone to gallstones compared to males. Some studies have shown that weight and body mass index (BMI) impacts on the formation of gallstone. Thus, the purpose of this research was to assess the fasting gallbladder volume in relation with the weight and BMI using ultrasound imaging technique. Ultrasound imaging was selected as the modality of choice because it is the gold standard for detecting gallstones. The experimental research was conducted on undergraduate female students of International Islamic University Malaysia, Kuantan. There were a total of 45 female students involved in this research. Weight and BMI of subjects were recorded prior to the ultrasound examination. The gallbladder volume was calculated using the ellipsoid equation. Statistical analysis was done by using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 12.0.1. Normality tests, correlation tests and one sample T-test were conducted for the analysis of the data. Research findings show that, there is significant correlation of weight and average fasting gallbladder volume (p=0.00). Besides that, there is moderate significant correlation of BMI and average gallbladder volume (p=0.004). The result for reference value of average gallbladder volume in this study was found 32.98 ± 3.49 cm3. It is concluded that, in terms of gallstones prevalence, there is a possibility of one to have gallstones if the average gallbladder volume is greater than the reference value found in this study. Further research needs to be conducted in order to develop a guideline for asymptomatic gallstones patients in Malaysia. 2022-09-15 Conference or Workshop Item NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/101085/1/Assessment%20of%20fasting%20gallbladder%20volume%20using%20ultrasound.pdf Sayed, Inayatullah Shah and Shaikh Nurudin, Najihah (2022) Assessment of fasting gallbladder volume using ultrasound imaging in relation to weight and body mass index among female students for detection of asymptomatic gallstones.
