Level of total cholesterol in people with different body weights
EDN: JUCCUU
Abstract
Objective - to study the associations of total blood cholesterol with body mass index and waist circumference in people aged 20-75 years.
Materials and methods. 442 men and 608 women aged 20-75 years were examined. Body length, body weight, waist circumference and hip circumference were measured. Anthropometric indices were calculated: waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-length ratio, and body mass index. The level of total cholesterol in fasting blood was determined using an SD LipidoCare express analyzer.
Results. The median values of total cholesterol were 4.6 [3.8; 5.4] mmol/L in men and 5.0 [4.2; 5.8] mmol/L in women, with statistically significant differences (p=0.0002). Overweight and obesity, defined by body mass index, were found in 58.8% of men and 55.4% of women, while waist circumference was estimated at 42.8% and 51.3%, respectively. The increase in body weight was accompanied by an increase in the level of total cholesterol in blood plasma in both sex groups. There were no statistically significant differences in total cholesterol levels in overweight and obese individuals. The chances of developing hypercholesterolemia are higher in the case of abdominal obesity, compared with overweight and obesity, estimated by body mass index.
Conclusion. The most significant prognostic predictors of hypercholesterolemia are the index of the ratio of waist circumference to body length and increased values of waist circumference.
