Association of Blood Pressure and Biochemical Parameters with Adiposity in Women
Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Modifications in lifestyle have an impact on the incidence of metabolic disorders such as the development of type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemias and metabolic syndrome (MS) that aggravate the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The objective of this study was to evaluate blood pressure, biochemical and anthropometric parameters of a group of women assisted at the medicine Ambulatory at University of Marilia – Marilia – São Paulo - Brazil. Biochemical and anthropometric parameters as well as blood pressure were evaluated. Our results showed that the presence of hypertension was associated with altered values for lipids, glycaemia and anthropometric parameters. The levels of triglycerides, glycaemia and anthropometric parameters are higher in patients with altered values for total cholesterol. We may also observe that only values for WC are higher in patients with altered values for triglycerides. Patients with high values of glycaemia showed significant higher values for BMI and WC. In patients with altered values for BMI we may observe altered values for lipids, glycaemia and WC. For high values for WC we observe higher values for triglycerides, glycaemia and BMI. The results of our study showed that increased values of glycaemia, total cholesterol, triglycerides, WC, and BMI are related to increase in the cardiovascular risk. The distribution of adipose tissue in these patients evidences the accumulation of visceral fat and obesity which generates drastic metabolic alterations in this group. In addition, the prevalence of increased levels of triglycerides and glycaemia demonstrates the possible role of obesity in these changes.
