Relationship of anthropometric variables with lipid profile in moderate and sedentary workers
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction Sedentary lifestyle is associated with increased body mass index increased waist circumference and type2 diabetes leading to metabolic syndrome Various anthropometric variables are strong and consistent predictors for non communicable diseases There is positive relationship between anthropometric measures and adiposity Dyslipidemia is a marker for development of cardiovascular diseaseObjective To assess relationship of anthropometric variables with lipid profile in moderate and sedentary workers in Jammu regionMaterials and Methods The present one year crosssectional study was carried out on healthy moderate workers GroupI and healthy sedentary workers GroupII in the age group of 20 to 60 years Baseline data of anthropometric variables including body mass index waisthip ratio waistheight ratio abdominal volume index was recorded as per WHO standards Lipid profile values were assessed according to the National Cholesterol Education Programme of USA Mean and standard deviation reported for quantitative variables were calculated and noted Mean values were compared with the help of unpaired lsquotrsquo test and statistical result was obtained For unilateral comparison linear regression was used A pvalue of lt 005 was considered as statistically significant All pvalues reported were twotailedResults The mean values of age and anthropometric variables in moderate workers GroupI were significantly less as compared to those of sedentary workers GroupII Serum HDLC and serum VLDLC of the moderate workers showed significant relationship with waist circumference Mean total cholesterol and serum LDLC showed significant relationship with waist circumference in sedentary workers Serum total cholesterol showed significant relationship with WHR in moderate workersConclusion Anthropometric variables total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol had significant effect in sedentary workers High density lipoprotein cholesterol has significant effect in moderate workers showing that HDLC increases with level of activityKeywords Anthropometric variables Lipid profile Moderate workers Sedentary workers
