Pages

  70-80

Abstract

 Background and Objective: ANTHROPOMETRY is the most common way for measuring body growth in human which today is also used as a predictive indicator in epidemiologic and metabolic studies as well as in the diseases related to OBESITY. The aim of this study was to investigate the anthrapometric indicator in ZANJAN inhabitants and compare it with NCHS standards.Materials and Methods: This research was a part of “Healthy Heart” program which was carried out among ZANJAN people in 2003. 1821 individuals of ZANJAN inhabitants above 15 years old participated to the study through multi-stages random cluster sampling method. Questionnaire consisted of personal information and anthropometric indicators. The results then compared with standard charts of NCHS.Results: The average of the weight in men and women was 68.7±12.5 and 61.7±11.8 kg respectively. The average of the height was 170±7 and 156±7 cm respectively. The average of the BMI in men and women was 23.73 and 25.4±4.9 kg/m2 respectively. 32.8% of participants were overweight and 12.5% were obese. 27.7% of women and 10.7% of men had abdominal OBESITY (P<0.05). Positive and significant relation was observed between BMI and age (R=.36), BMI and marital status (R=.39). A reverse and significant relation was observed between BMI and education level (R=-.18).Conclusion: According to the findings of this study which reveals that a considerable amount of women are affected by abdominal OBESITY, paying attention to life style especially in women in all age groups is recommended.
