概要:

The present study investigated the relationship between obesity and atherosclerosis according to agein the general female population. Six hundred fifty-five females were divided into 3 different age groups and therelationship between brachi … al-ankle pulse wave velocity （baPWV） and various obesity indices were investigated.In the youngest age group （20-39 years）, BMI, percentage body fat and abdominal circumference were positivelycorrelated with baPWV. In the middle-aged group （40-59 years）, all four obesity indices （BMI, percentage bodyfat, abdominal circumference and the waist-to-hip ratio （WHR）） were positively correlated with baPWV. However,baPWV was found to be negatively correlated with BMI only in the oldest age group （60 years and over）, thoughit was still positively correlated with WHR （but not abdominal circumference）. The reason for this may be due to agradual reduction of body weigh caused by some lifestyle-related diseases or aging. In this study, it was confirmedthat abdominal obesity is a key indicator of arteriosclerosis, though the importance of BMI （general obesity） as anindicator may depend on the generation. Furthermore, our results suggested that abdominal circumference and WHRmay have different significance as the indicators of arteriosclerosis. 続きを見る
