The purpose of this study is to observe the relationship between indicators of metabolic syndrome, WHR and %Fat by BMI classification in adult men.
The subjects of this study were 500 adult men with ages ranging from 40 to 59 years old who had no physical and congenital problems.
These adult men were measured their body composition height, body weight, body mass Index, percent body fat, waist to hip ratio, fast blooding sugar, blood pressure and serum lipids total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride.
The result of these variables was analyzed and compared using SPSS 12.0 program. The major analysis employed Descriptive detective, Independent samples t-test and Pearson's Correlation Coefficient. All statistical significance levels were P<.05. The results of this study were as follows.
First, in normal weight group, there was the significance positive correlation between BMI, WHR and %Fat in BMI classification of both WHO and KSSO(Korea society for the study of obesity). Generally in overweight and obesity groups, the classification of KSSO's BMI had more significance than WHO's.
Second, there was the significance positive correlation between systolic blood pressure, diastolic pressure and fasting blood sugar in overweight and obesity groups of KSSO's BMI classification. But, WHO BMI classification had no significant correlation in metabolic risk factors.
Future studies must be performed with more variables region, gender, age, exercise, alcohol, nicotine and percent body fat, waist circumference indicating distribution of body fat to examine the interaction between BMI and metabolic risk factors.
