| description | Obesity and overweight are extensive phenomena that reached epidemics extent worldwide, including
the Kurdistan region of Iraq. The aim of this study is to evaluate the values of total cholesterol (TC),
triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
(HDL-C), body mass index (BMI), and the state of physical activity in Halabja’s public employees. Overall
355 adults aged from 19 to 63 including 246 males and 109 females contributed to the study. The lipid
profiles were tested in all subjects after over-night fasting. In addition, anthropometry measurements
were taken; the mean height for males is 1.7129 m and 1.5732 m for females. The mean weights
of males and females are 80.4813 and 69.9459 kg, respectively. The mean BMI value for males and
females is 27.4258 and 28.3274, respectively. Some of the cases were diagnosed with diabetes, renal
diseases, hypertension, and other relevant diseases. 246 of participants adopted sedentary lifestyles
while 109 of them lived an active lifestyle. 65, 162, 98, and 206 of participants had TC, TG, LDL-C,
and HDL-C off-limits, respectively. Pearson’s correlation between BMI with TC, TG, and LDL-C showed
a significant relationship at 0.01 level as 0.156**, 0.140**, and 0.144**, respectively. HDL-C was
negatively correlated to BMI at −0.062 level. The analysis of variance showed statistically significant
p-values between TC, TG, and HDL-C according to BMI at 0.027, 0.000, and 0.000, respectively.
The sedentary group of participants showed a higher Mean range of TC, TG, LDL-C, and HDL-C than
an active group of participants. |
