Associations Of Anthropometric Indices And Serum Lipid Level

Objective：To research the method to assess the lipid metabolism level byanthropometric indices, through the cross-sectional investigation of theanthropometric indices and serum lipid level of the university staffs.Method: A total of296university staffs(male134and female162) wereevaluated height,weight,waist circumference(WC),hip circumference,waist tohip ratio（WHR）and waist to height ratio(WHtR) by the trained tester. And theirserum lipid profiles,including total glycerin(TG), total cholesterol(TC)，high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) and low-density lipoproteincholesterol(LDL-C) in serum, were detected by the trained tester usingspecialized equipment. Partial correlation,chi-square test were used in analysis.Results:1.Male HDL-C is lower than female’s,male TG,TC and LDL-C arehigher than female’s(p<0.01).Male prevalence of High-TG, Low-HDL-C andHigh-LDL-C are higher than femal’s(p<0.05).2.There is significant differenceon judging the prevalence of obesity between different anthropometricindices(p<0.01).Obesity prevalence results’ consistency between differentanthropome-tric indices is not ideal.3. Statistical analysis shows that TC haspositive correlation with BF, WHR in men；TG has positive correlation withBMI, WC, WHR in men, and with BMI,BF,WHR and WHtR in women;HDL-Chas negative correlation with BF,WC, WHtR in men and BMI,BF,WC， WHR,WHtR in women; LDL-C has positive correlation with WC, WHtR inmen.4. There is significant difference on assessing the lipid metabolism levelby different anthropometric indices.High-BF male group’s hyperlipemia,hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, hyper-LDL-C prevalence is higherthan normal group; high-BMI male group’s hypo-HDL-C prevalence is higherthan normal group;high-WC male group’s hypo-HDL-C prevalence is higherthan normal group; high-WHtR male group’s hypo-HDL-C prevalence is higherthan normal group;high-WC female group’s hypertriglyceridemia prevalence ishigher than normal; high-WHR female group’s hypertriglyceridemia prevalenceis higher than normal; high-WHtR female group’s hypertriglyceridemiaprevalence is higher than normal。 Lipid metabolism disorder prevalenceresults’consistency between anthropometric indice and serum lipid level is low.Conclusions：1.There is difference on lipid metabolism between male andfemle.There is difference on the lipid metabolism disorder between male andfemale.So it is necessary to consider the gender to mak exercise prescription.2.Obesity prevalence results’ consistency between different anthropometricindices is not ideal. So it is necessary to select the reasonal anthropometricindice to detect the obesity.3.There is correlation between serum lipid level andanthropometric indice.It is reasonable to use the anthropometric indice asassessment standard to make exercise prescription.4. There is difference onassessing the lipid metabolism by different anthropometric indices.It isnecessary to select proper anthropometric indice assessment standard to makeexercise prescriptio. Lipid metabolism disorder prevalence results’ consistencybetween anthropometric indice method and serum lipid level method is low.Soanthropometric indices can not take the place of lipid metabolism examination.
