Abstract
|
|
|
Obsity is related with hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The association between these diseases with lipid levels is well known. If we estimate quantitatively the relation between obesity and lipid levels, the measurement of obesity is
meaningful
to
identify the high risk persons and to evaluate the effect of obesity control. We evaluated quantitatively the relation between obesity and lipid levels in healthy population of rural Korean community and analysed the influence of the associated
factors
such as age, excercise level, smoking amount.
The cross sectional survey on the population of Yonchon county in Korean in 1993 was used (667 men and 913 women). Waist to hip ratio, body mass index(kg/㎡) Serum total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol was measured.
Total cholesterol was positively correlated with BMI(r=0.200 in men and 0.166 in women) and WHR(r=0.092 in men and 0.176 in women). HDL cholesterol was negatively correlated with BMI(r=-0.281 in men and -0.099 in women) and WHR(r-0.169 in men and
-0.076
in women). In men, the correlation coefficient between BMI and total cholesterol in old age group (older than 60 is lesser than in younger age groups, but in women greater in old age group than in younger group. smoking and excercise level were
not
confounding variables.
