Association of Body Fat Percentage with Caridometabolic Risk Factors: a Hospital Based Observational Study
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Background: Obesity is considered as an important global health problem worldwide and is on a very high rise in the past one decade. Its association with numerous comorbidities such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain cancers etc. make it a matter of major concern for the clinicians. Present study thus aimed to evaluate the association of Body Fat Percentage with a wide variety of cardiometabolic risk factors. Material and Method: 115 subjects were enrolled in the study. Body fat Percentage was calculated using Bioelectrical impedance analysis method. The subjects were divided into two groups depending upon their BF%. Anthropometric parameters, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting lipid profile, and blood glucose were collected. Results: Percentage body fat was significantly and directly associated with total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting blood glucose and Systolic Blood Pressure (p<0.001). Conclusions: Obesity is a major determinant of high blood pressure, raised cholesterol and impaired glucose levels and increased BF% is associated with a higher risk of developing Cardiometabolic risk factors.
