Abstract

Regrading the fact that anthropometric indices are affected by gender, age, race and ethnicity, socio-economic status, culture, etc. The present research was an attempt to investigate the relationship between the anthropometric indices such as WHR, BMI, %BF, WSR and health risk factors such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes including total cholesterol concentration (Tcho), Trglyceride (TG), HighDensity Lipoprotein (HDL), Low - Density Lipoprotein (LDL), Very Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL), Risk factor (RF = LDL/HDL), and Fasting blood sugar (FBS). This project also involves the rate of such anthropometric indices in active/inactive individuals, and, finally, has aimed at the standardization of WHR among the men of 40 and above in AHVAZ city. The present study was a correlation field study in which subjects were of 150 voluntary men of 40 and above who were measured for their anthropometric indices and being active/inactive. Also 63 subjects were selected out of the above population for the measurement of blood variables. The obtained data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and Hest, The analysis of the data resulted in four cases of significant relationship as follows: A: Between WHR and four risk factors of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, which are FBS (r = 0.311, p= 0.013), Tcho (r= 0.365, p= 0.003), TG (r= 0.299. p=O.017) and VLDL (r= 0.594, p C: Betwee %BF and three risk factors of cardiovascular disease, including Tcho (r= 0.424, p= 0.001), TG (r= 0.345), p= 0.004), and VLDL (r= 0.583, p< 0.001). D: Between WSR and three risk factors of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, which are FBS (r= .260), Tcho (r= 0.347, p= 0.005), and VLDL (r=0.521, p E: It was also revealed that in the men of 40 and above in Ahwaz the NORMs of the WHR, BMI, %BF, and WSR for the risk of exposure to cardiovascular disease and Diabetes are 0.936, 26.3 KgIM, %22.3, and 0.551, respectively. There appeared difference between active and inactive men of 40 and above in the rates of WHR, BMI, %BF and WSR. Moreover, the rates of these indices appeared to be more in the inactive group. In summary, it seems that WHR is more robust than the other indices in predicting the probability of the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes in the men of 40 and above in AHVAZ.
