Abstract
Background- Obesity is the leading risk-factor of cardiovascular-diseases, which accounts for 23% of Ischemic Heart-Diseases burden. Several studies are done to correlate the effect of BMI on cardiovascular risk-factors. But only few studies are done to compare the effect of obesity on cardiovascular risk-factors. Therefore, this study is to identify the effect of android & gynoid-type of obesity on CVD risk-factors.
Method- Study conducted on 60 obese-adults; Age:20-45 years; BMI 25-29.9kg/m2 (Obese-class Ⅰ WHO-Asian Classification) Demographic and anthropometric data regarding WC, HC, and WHR were recorded. CVD risk-factors by ATP-III definition: High-BP, Low-HDL-C, High-triglycerides, Fasting-glucose. Thus, to observe association of CVD risk-factors between android-obesity & gynoid-obesity.
Result- Result has been obtained from SPSS20. Mean-age & Mean-BMI in Android-obesity were (33.06+7.8) (27.33+1.24) and in Gynoid-obesity were (33.9+7.54) (27.26+1.15) respectively. Comparison between two groups found using independent t-tests. There was significant difference of Triglycerides, Fasting-glucose, Blood-pressure & HDL-C between both groups. Triglycerides (M=158.27), Fasting-glucose (M=121.30), Blood-pressure (SBP; M=132.69, DBP; M=89.03) were higher while HDL-C (M=35.10) is lower in Android-obesity than that of Gynoid(M=110.53), (M=95.77), (SBP; M=116.97, DBP; M=75.50) and (M=46.03), having significant difference p<0.05
Conclusion & Clinical-implications- This study concludes that CVD risk-factors are significantly associated with Android-obesity as compared to Gynoid-obesity.
