This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between change in obesity indices and change in serum lipids in adult male workers.
Two - hundred - eight adult male workers of an industry in Taegu city were followed -up from 1991 to 1995. Height, weight, circumferences of hip and wait, blood pressure were measured and serum lipids were analysed. Data on life style were obtained using self administered questionnaires.
Mean differences of anthropometric measurements between 1991 and 1995 were as follows; 1.63kg in weight, 3.61cm in waist circumferences, 4.23cm in hip circumference, 0.52kg/m2 in BMI and - 0.021 in WHR. Those of lipids were as follows; 15.09mg/dl in total cholesterol, 20.43mgldl in triglyceride, 9.40mg/dl in HDL - cholesterol, 2.87 in MI - index (p <0.0k) and 350mg/dl in LDL cholesterol.
The changed value of BMI and Katsura index were strongly correlated with that of total cholesterol(r=0.174, p <0.05), the changed value of BMI correlated with that of triglyceride(r = 0.374, p <0.01) and the changed value of weight correlated with that of MI innex(r = - 0.173, p <0.05). The changed value of WHR was significantly correlated with that of total cholesterol(r=0.162, p<0.05), however, was not significantly correlated with HDL - cholesterol, LDL - cholesterol, triglyceride and MI index.
The changed value of weight, BMI and Katsura index were correlated with that of triglyceride(r=0.262, p <0.01; r = 0.267, p <0.01; r = 0.258, p<0.01) and the changed value of MI index(r - 0.143, p <0.05 ; r = -0.158;r= -0.144, p<0.01), adjusting the pattern, of change in life style.
The changed values of HDL cholesterol and MI index between 1991 and 1995 in low WHR group were significantly higher than those in high WHR group(p <0.05,p<0.01), adjusting the baseline value of them. Similar pattern was observed when considerin4 Katsura index. When stratifying by BMI value of 1991, in low BMI group, the changed value of HDL -cholesterol and MI index showed the same pattern as above, however that of triglyceride was statistically higher in obese group than in non obese group(p <0.05). In conclusion BMI might be a better indicator to predict serum lipids change than other obesity indices.
