다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The present study was intended to reveal the relationships between the severity of obesity and various risk factors for coronary heart disease. The studs subjects were 1.838 urban inhabitants (male: 962. female: 876) who went through a general health check-up during the period between January through December. 2001. The degree of obesity was estimated by BMI and its relation to coronary heart disease risk factors were investigated. With respect to the severity of obesity. the mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure. TC. LDL-C. TG and AI increased significantly. but HDL-C showed a reversed pattern. with a higher severity. On the other hand. no difference was found in FBS. The severity of obesity was directly correlated with SBP. DBP. TC. LDL-C. TG and AI. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors relevant to the severity of obesity were sex. DBP and TG. The odds ratio was 2.3 times higher in women than in men. and DBP and TG were 3.8 and 1.8 times higher in the obesity group than in the normal weight group. respectively. In conclusion. blood pressure. TC. LDL-C. TG. and AI significantly increase. and HDL-C decreases in proportion to the severity of obesity. The maintenance of desirable body weight should be a target for intervention with the idea of coronary heart disease prevention.
