Evaluation of the coronary risk in women through indicating parameters anthropometrics of obesities

Abstract

Objective: To characterize coronary risk in women attending two projects Extension School of Biomedical Sciences Cacoal. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 193 women divided into five age groups, respectively: 15 to 29 years, 30 to 39 years, 40 to 49 years, 50 to 59 years and above 60 years, which included measurements of circumference waist and hip as a predictor of waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), weight and height for predicting body mass index (BMI). Results: The distribution of the sample in the ratings percentage of age group, it appears that the first age group (15 to 29 years) accounted for 57.0% of the sample, the second (30 to 39 years) to 16.6% the third (40 to 49 years) to 13.5%, the fourth (50 to 59 years) to 9.3% and the last (60 over) to 3.6% and the mean and standard deviation of age is generally presented at 30.7 ± 14.3 years. The mean and standard deviation of BMIchecked by age group was the following: (15 to 29 years) 21.50 ± 3.66; (30 to 39 years) 25.73 ± 5.38; (40 to 49 years) 25, 63 ± 4.16; (50 to 59 years) 26.41 ± 5.2 and (60 above) 28.54 ± 1.6. The mean and standard deviation of the ratio of WHR verified by age group was the following: (15 to 29 years) 0.7289 ± 0.06, (30 to 39 years) 0.7942 ± 0.06, (40 to 49 years) 0.7878 ± 0.08 (50 to 59 years) and 0.8270 ± 0.09 (60 above) 0.8944 ± 0.03. Conclusion: There is a correlation between the variables BMI and WHR ingeneral it takes to understand that the body fat of the sample is well distributed which may explain the reduced coronary risk by treating the sample as a whole.
