Background: Obesity is a pathological condition due to excessive fat accumulation than is needed for body function. Pregnant women with overweight and obesity are at high risk and have been shown to be associated with increased complications in pregnancy. Cesarean section is a surgery to deliver a fetus by opening the abdominal wall and uterine wall. Generally, in cesarean section, spinal anesthesia is performed. Objective: to determine the hemodynamic picture of obese caesarean section patients with spinal anesthesia. Method: The method used is observational analytic with a cross-sectional approach and consecutive sampling technique. Data analysis uses parametric statistics. The data in this study are the results of differences in obese and non-obese patients. Data collection techniques in this study include documentation and observation. Results: The pre-anesthesia results obtained an average systolic blood pressure = 138.31 ± 17.528, an average diastolic blood pressure = 82.54 ± 10.643 and an average pulse of 100.69 ± 15.315, while the results after 5 minutes obtained an average systolic blood pressure of 105.31 ± 12.572, an average diastolic blood pressure of 61.15 ± 11.753 and an average pulse of 99.54 ± 18.963. Conclusion: Changes in blood pressure and pulse before spinal anesthesia with after spinal anesthesia in obese patients undergoing cesarean section showed a decrease in blood pressure and pulse in the 5th minute after injection.

Osteoarthritis is a group of rheumatic diseases that most often causes joint disorders, causes pain and disorders in the elderly which generally attacks weight-bearing joints, especially the knee joints. Being overweight can cause damage to joint cartilage. populations with overweight or obesity have greater risk factors for knee osteoarthritis than populations with normal negative weight. excess body weight can reach four to five times greater, thereby accelerating damage to joint cartilage structures. The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship between obesity and knee osteoarthritis in the Working Area of the Batu Aji Health Center, Batam City in 2020. The type of research was analytic with a cross-sectional design, using purposive sampling by looking at secondary data. There were 67 respondents in this study. The results of this study obtained the results of the statistical test chi suare p value = 0.001 (0.05), this indicates that there is a significant relationship between obesity and the incidence of knee osteoarthritis in the elderly in the Batu Aji Health Center Work Area, Batam City in 2020. It is recommended for the elderly to can do physical activities such as gymnastics, morning walks and consume foods and drinks rich in calcium such as milk and fruits in order to maintain bone health in the elderly
