Relationship between body composition indices and cardiovascular disease risk factors in Iranian inactive female college students
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.
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.
