Abstract

Purpose: To determine which is the best anthropometric index among body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio (WHR), waist to stature ratio (WSR) and C index in relation to cardiovascular diseases risk factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in a sample of 300 Iranian female college students, aged 18-36 years that were selected via multistage cluster random sampling from university of Fars province. Fasting blood sugar, lipid profile including total cholesterol (TC), Low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) and triglycerides (TG) were estimated by standard enzymatic procedures and anthropometric indices were measured. Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple linear regressions were used in analysis. Results: The correlation between BMI and all cardiovascular diseases risk factors were statistically significant. There was positive correlation between WHR and WSR with TC, TG and LDL, while there was a negative correlation between WSR and HDL. There was no correlation between C index and cardiovascular diseases risk factors except for TG. Multiple regression analysis confirmed the predictive power of BMI, WHR and WSR for cardiovascular diseases risk factors and BMI was the best simple anthropometric index in predicting cardiovascular diseases risk factors in non-obese female college students. Conclusion: These data support the hypothesis that BMI, WSR, WHR and C index may be considered as risk factors for cardiovascular disease and BMI is a better index for predicting some cardiovascular risk factors in young non-obese women.

伊朗不爱运动女大学生身体成分指标与心血管疾病危险因素的关系

目的:探讨体重指数(BMI)、腰臀比(WHR)、腰高比(WSR)和C指数与心血管疾病危险因素的关系。方法:采用多阶段整群随机抽样法尔斯省大学的300名18-36岁的伊朗女大学生进行横断面研究。空腹血糖、血脂包括总胆固醇(TC)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL)和甘油三酯(TG)通过标准酶法测定，并测量人体测量指标。采用Pearson相关系数和多元线性回归进行分析。结果:BMI与所有心血管疾病危险因素的相关性均有统计学意义。WHR、WSR与TC、TG、LDL呈正相关，WSR与HDL呈负相关。除TG外，C指数与心血管疾病危险因素无相关性。多元回归分析证实了BMI、WHR和WSR对心血管疾病危险因素的预测能力，BMI是预测非肥胖女大学生心血管疾病危险因素的最佳简单人体测量指标。结论:这些数据支持BMI、WSR、WHR和C指数可作为心血管疾病危险因素的假设，BMI是预测年轻非肥胖女性心血管危险因素的较好指标。

期刊介绍： For many diseases, women’s physiology and life-cycle hormonal changes demand important consideration when determining healthcare management options. Age- and gender-related factors can directly affect treatment outcomes, and differences between the clinical management of, say, an adolescent female and that in a pre- or postmenopausal patient may be either subtle or profound. At the same time, there are certain conditions that are far more prevalent in women than men, and these may require special attention. Furthermore, in an increasingly aged population in which women demonstrate a greater life-expectancy.
