Comparative analysis of WC, blood glucose and blood lipid levels of subjects according to their BMIs
According to BMI values, 60% of the women and 18.5% of the men were within the normal range, 35% of the women and 63% of the men were within the overweight class, and 5% of women and 18.5% of men were within the obese class.
It was determined that there was no statistically significant difference between the women’s PrBG and PoBG, according to their BMI values. However, a statistically significant difference was determined between the averages of WC (P<0.000), total cholesterol level (P<0.050), HDL-c (P<0.026), LDL-c (P<0.006), and triglyceride level (P<0.024) (Table 5). Accordingly, it was determined that there was a positive correlation between an increase in BMI values and the following: a widening of WC (r=0.88, p<0.0001), an increase in total cholesterol (r=0.53, p< 0.016), an increase in LDL-c (r=0.67, p<0.001), and an increase in triglyceride levels (r=0.51 p< 0.023). It was determined that there is a negative correlation between the increase in BMI values and HDL-c (r=-0.51, p<0.021).
We determined that there was no statistically meaningful relationship between age, PrBG, total cholesterol, HDL-c, and LDL-c according to the BMI values. However, there was a statistically significant difference between the average of WC (P<0.001), PoBG (P<0.040) and triglyceride levels (P<0.009). Accordingly, it was determined that there was a positive correlation between the increase in BMI values and the widening of WC (r=0.76, p<0.000), and an increase in triglyceride level (r=0.49p< 0.009).
