Correlation Study between Waist-To-Hip Ratio, Lipidemia and HemodynamicsAmong College Students in Yilan County

Objectives: The purpose of this study was wake up attention on chronic diseaseof collegiate youth and respect of units concerned by investigated the correlationamong waist-to-hip ratio, lipidemia and hemodynamics of health examination incollege students.Methods: Select freshman and transfer students in yilan county university, inaccordance with health examination through anonymous methods. The collecteddata included age, gender, waist-to-hip ratio, total cholesterol, triglyceride andhemodynamics. There were statistical methods in this study such as Independentsamplest-test, Chi-square test and Pearson product-moment correlationcoefficients.Results: There were 666 college boys and 314 college girls in thie study. Totalcholesterol of girls were significantly higher than boys, but the triglyceride ofboys were significantly higher than girls. All the hemodynamics of boys weresignificantly higher than girls. Waist-to-hip ratio, triglyceride, systolic pressureand pulse pressure were all significant difference from gender, the Chi-square testwas 10.60 with p value <0.01 between waist-to-hip ratio and gender, 14.00 with pvalue <0.001 between triglyceride and gender, 26.10 with p value <0.001 betweensystolic pressure and gender, 20.52 with p value <0.001 between pulse pressureand gender respectively. Total cholesterol, triglyceride, systolic pressure, pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure were all positive correlation from waist-to-hipratio with significant difference, the correlation coefficient was 0.084 with p value<0.01 between waist-to-hip ratio and total cholesterol, 0.325 with p value <0.001between waist-to-hip ratio and triglyceride, 0.112 with p value <0.001 betweenwaist-to-hip ratio and systolic pressure, 0.103 with p value <0.01 between waistto-hip ratio and pulse pressure, and 0.090 with p value <0.01 between waist-to-hipratio and mean arterial pressure respectively.Conclusions: Hemodynamics and lipidemia were higher following the waistto-hip ratio increased. Evidently, there were correlation between waist-to-hipratio and hemodynamics, and between waist-to-hip ratio t and lipidemia. Theseindicated that waist-to-hip ratio might be the risk indicator of the hyperlipidemiaand hypertension. The physiological and pathological representatives meaning ofthe waist circumference seems to have a deep link with the dai meridian theory oftraditional Chinese medicine, it was worth further study.
