Abstract:

The purpose of this investigation was to determine cardiovascular risk factors in middle-age adults male with different abdominal obesity and physical activity levels. 40 males aged 35 to 55 years divided to four groups. Group 1 :(physically active with high WHR), group2: (physically active with low WHR), group3: (non-active with high WHR), group 4: (non-active with low WHR). Physical activity was assessed using beck's standardized questionnaire .Risk factors included C-reactive proteins levels( CRP), high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and low density lipoproteins (LDL)and total cholesterol (TC) were assessed by taking blood samples and waist to hip ratio(WHR) determined as an abdominal obesity index. Data analyzed using two-way ANOVA, (P≤0.05). No significant differences were seen in risk factors included HDL, LDL and TC levels (P≥0.05).In adults with high & low WHR, the CRP levels were significantly different (P≤0.05)in all groups. Our data suggest that in spite of physical activity levels, abdominal obesity is effective on CRP levels in middleaged adults male.

Associations of Cardiovascular Risk Factors with Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Middle-Age Adults and Elders

AIMS Elevated carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) is a preclinical phenotype of atherosclerotic diseases. There are significant sex differences in the morbidities of cardiovascular diseases and their major determinants, and we explored the sex-specific effects of cardiovascular factors on cIMT by a community-based study. METHODS We measured the cIMT and cardiovascular profiles of 1579 resid...
