| 1 | Relationship between obesity and cardiovascular risk factors in elderly Chinese subjects显示文摘Objective To investigate the relative effects of degree and distribution of body fat with several cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in elderly Chinese subjects.Methods One-hundred and thirty-five elderly Chinese individuals (age range, 60-65 y) without any history of significant renal, hepatic or cardiac disease were recruited. Seated blood pressure, anthropometric and fasting plasma biochemical parameters were measured. Student’s t-test was used to compare the differences in biochemical and anthropometric markers between cohorts.Results Males were heavier (64.6±8.6, 57.2±8.2?kg, P<0.001), taller (1.65±0.06, 1.51± 0.05 m, P<0.001) and their greater body fat was predominantly deposited centrally (Waist-to-hip ratio, 0.91±0.06, 0.88±0.07, P<0.05). Females were more generally obese with increased body mass index (BMI, 23.8±4.6, 25.0±3.5 kg/m 2, P<0.05) and percentage body fat [26.3% (24.5%-28.1%) vs 37.2% (36.0%-38.9%), P<0.001] than the males. However, despite an 11% higher proportion of body fat in females, no significant differences were identified in blood pressure, lipid profile, indices of insulin resistance or albumin-to-creatinine ratios.Conclusion It is likely that central adiposity contributes disproportionately to these metabolic disorders in males even though they are much leaner than elderly Chinese females. | G Neil THOMAS 赵海潞 马艳青 Wilson YS LEUNG Juliana CN CHAN Brian TOMLINSON Julian AJH CRITCHLEY 梁润成 陈重娥 汤宁信 郭志良 | 2002 | Chinese Medical Journal2002，，6： | 11 |
