Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect of body mass index(BMI), waist circumference(WC) and waist hip ratio (WHR) on blood pressure, serum lipids, renal function, protein and lymphocyte. Methods:175 middle and elderly patients were measured. Results:Compared to normal weight cases, SBP and uric-acid were significantly higher in over-weight cases. Triglyceride, SBP and DBP were all significantly higher in obesity cases. When waist circumference was beyond 85 cm in women, triglyceride, lymphocyte and DBP were all significantly higher than those in normal weight women. When waist circumference was beyond 90 cm in men, triglyceride was significantly higher than that in normal weight men. Conclusion:When BMI increases, triglyceride and blood pressure will increase accordingly. When WC is higher than normal, triglyceride in male and female will be higher. Control of obesity, is helpful to prevent cardiovascular diseases.
