| Popis: | Abdominal obesity is associated with high plasma triglyceride and with low plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.Objective of the study was to find an association between plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels and anthropometric parameters in abdominal obesity in Slovakian university students. Lipid profile and anthropometric parameters of obesity were studied in a sample of 419 probands, including 137 men and 282 women.Males had higher values of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG) and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C) than females, but these differences were not significant. Females had significantly (P 0.05) higher TC and HDL-C (P 0.001) than males. In comparison, all anthropometric parameters in the males were significantly (P 0.001) higher than in the females. A positive correlation between non-HDL-C, TG, VLDL-C and anthropometric parameters (BMI, WC, WHR, WHtR) was found at P 0.001. LDL was positively correlated with BMI, WCF, WHtR and TC with BMI, WHtR at P 0.001. We also observed a correlation between TC-WCF and LDL-WHR at P 0.01. A negative correlation was found between HDL and all monitored anthropometric parameters at P 0.001. On the other hand, no correlation between TC and WHR was detected.This study shows an association between plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels and anthropometric parameters in abdominal obesity in young people, predominantly university students. |
