Abstract

In this study the level of nutritional status of postmenopausal women was assessed. The data was collected from the participants on pretested semi structured questionnaire. A total of 264subjects of age 40 to 90 years were randomly selected and anthropometric measurements of the samples such as height and weight were measured for the calculation of Body Mass Index(BMI), while hip and waist were measured for calculation of Hip –Waist Ratio. History and clinical assessment was noted. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 was used for the entry and analysis of the data. The mean age was found to be 57 ± 10.797 years and mean BMI was determined to be 29.570 ± 6.4226.Mean Hip and waist ratio was calculated as 1.071± 0.1361. A significant correlation between Hip-waist ratio, BMI, Waist circumference and height in meter square were calculated in the selected samples. The high prevalence of obesity and overweight are suggested in the current study. The provided evidences can be used for supporting to establishment and implementation of prevention further increase in obesity and related diseases and disorders.

绝经后妇女营养状况的测定

在这项研究中，评估了绝经后妇女的营养状况。数据收集自参与者预测的半结构化问卷。随机选取年龄在40 ~ 90岁之间的受试者264人，测量身高、体重等人体测量数据，计算BMI (Body Mass Index)，测量臀腰，计算臀腰比。记录病史和临床评估。使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)版本21进行数据的输入和分析。平均年龄为57±10.797岁，平均BMI为29.570±6.4226。平均臀腰比为1.071±0.1361。在选取的样本中计算臀腰比、BMI、腰围和平方米身高之间的显著相关。目前的研究表明，肥胖和超重的患病率较高。所提供的证据可用于支持建立和实施预防肥胖和相关疾病和障碍的进一步增加。
