Abstract:

Introduction & Objective: Physical activity (PA) is inversely associated with obesity but the effect has been difficult to quantify using questionnaires. Pedometers provide an opportunity to better characterize the association. The aim of present study was to examine the relationship between pedometer-determined PA (steps/day) and anthropometric risk factors of the cardiovascular system (CVS) in Hamadanian middle aged men. Materials & Methods: Anthropometric variables, total daily energy expenditure and Vo2rest were measured in 101 apparently healthy men (40-65yr). Subjects wore a pedometer (Hj-113 Omron, Japan) throughout the day for 2 consecutive weeks. Results: A significant negative correlation was found between average steps per day and weight (-0.574), %BF (-0.484), BMI (-0.721) WC (-0.584), HC (-0.369), AC (-0.559) and WHR (-0.568) P=0.0000. There was a significant difference in body composition variables, Daily Energy Expenditure and Vo2rest among activity groups (G1: ≥10,000step/day and G2 :< 10,000step/day), with higher values found in the less active groups (P>0.005). Conclusion: Anthropometric risk factors of the CVS in the active men with more daily steps are lower than the inactive counterparts. This point from clinical strategy, especially in the body composition parameters (BMI, WHR and central obesity) is important.

the effect of daily steps (pedometer) on biochemical and anthropometric risk factors of cardiovascular system in healthy middle-aged men

the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of daily steps on blood lipid profile of middle-aged men. daily steps were measured in healthy men (n=27) by a portable electronic pedometer. subjects were voluntarily selected as an active group (ag=12) and sedentary group (sg=15). in addition, total cholesterol (tc), triglyceride (tg), ldl-c and hdl-c were measured. the average of daily ...

The Relationship Between Physical Activity, Lipid Profile, and Two New Anthropometric Cardiovascular Risk Factors Among Men

Background: Cardiovascular diseases are among the most prevalent causes of morbidity and mortality. This research investigated the relationship between physical activity, lipid profile, and new anthropometric cardiovascular risk factors among men. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 155 adult men (30-50 years old) who were selected randomly from 250 men called by public announ...

Associations between cardiovascular risk factors and carotid atherosclerosis in middle-aged Japanese men with multiple risk factors.

To examine the relationship between cardiovascular risk factors and prevalence of carotid atherosclerosis in Japanese middle-aged men with multiple risk factors, 110 Japanese men aged 36 to 60 yr were recruited based on the presence of all of the following factors detected during a screening survey: 1) body mass index (BMI) > or = 25 kg/m2; 2) systolic blood pressure (SBP) > or = 140 mmHg and/o...

Different anthropometric adiposity measures and their association with cardiovascular disease risk factors in middle aged women.

A cross sectional study of 136 women age group40-55 years was conducted to study which anthropometric measure had the strongest association with cardiovascular disease risk factors in middle aged women. In accordance with their BMI measurement subjects were divided into three groups namely: Normal weight (Group1) BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m2, Overweight (Group2) - 25 kg/m2 - 29.9 kg/m2, Obese (Group3) -...

Cardiovascular risk factors in middle-aged women with subclinical hypothyroidism.

OBJECTIVES Overt hypothyroidism (OH) is associated with premature atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (CHD). Recently, C-reactive protein (CRP) and total homocysteine (tHct) emerged as additional independent cardiovascular risk factors. Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH), affecting as many as 15% of middle-aged women is not known to be associated with risk for CHD. DESIGN AND MEASUREMENTS...
