This study was performed to investigate the relatioships between obese index and major risk factors of cardiovascular disease in CVP patients. Anthropometry, food intake patterns, blood pressure, serum lipids and hematological values were
analyzed
in
550 patients from June, 1991 to August, 1992.
@ES the results are as follows:
@EN Total food intakes, especially total vegetable food and alcohol intakes were significantly related with obese index, so that the heavier patients tended to consume more carbohydrate and less fat. The blood pressure were observed to have
positive
correlation with obese index in man but not in women.
However, both in men and women, blood levels of TG, TC, and HDL-C were shown to be oppositive. So, it seems that as the degree of obesity is higher the blood pressure and blood lipids patterns worse.
Therefore, these results suggest that obesity is one of the major risk factors of CVD, and for prevention & treatment of the disease, controlling body weight by nutritionally adequate diet along with alcohol restriction is necessary.
