Nutritional status, lipid profile and its relationship with physical activity in adults
Keywords:
dyslipidemias, body mass index, abdominal obesityAbstract
Introduction: Regular physical activity is an important factor to maintain a good nutritional status, which contributes to the prevention of non-communicable diseases.
Objectives: Determine the relationship between nutritional status, lipid profile and physical activity in an adult population.
Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study, in an adult population of patients between 18 and 59 years old. The study variables were the following: body mass index, abdominal circumference, lipid profile (triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins, high-density lipoproteins) and physical activity. To determine the difference between both sexes, the Student t test was used and for correlation tests, Spearman's Rho was used.
Results: Of the patients studied, 66% and 73% were overweight and obese according to body mass index and waist circumference respectively. Regarding the lipid profile, elevated triglycerides were found in 60.8%, total cholesterol in 56.7% and low-density lipoproteins in 49.5%, while 63% showed low lipoproteins high density. The inverse correlation coefficient was moderate or high in all variables, except high-density lipoproteins.
Conclusions: Physical activity is related to body mass index, abdominal perimeter and lipid profile in adults.
