Relação entre os indicadores antropométricos do risco cardiometabólico e perfil socioeconômico de mulheres praticantes de atividade física

The study evaluated the anthropometric indicators of cardiometabolic risk and their relationship with the socioeconomic profile of women practicing physical activity. Cross-sectional study with 55 adult women in the Northeast region of Brazil. Cardiometabolic risk was determined by waist circumference, conicity index and body mass index. In addition, the Food Frequency Questionnaire (QFA) was applied with quantitative analysis by the Dietsys software version 4.01. The research participants were divided according to the economic class established by the Brazilian Association of Research Companies (ABEP) and the data were analyzed using the Graphpad prism 5.0® software, with a significance level of p <0.05 and with a confidence interval of 95 %. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Hospital Sao Domingos and followed the rules of the National Health Council of Resolution No. 466/2012. The women participating in the study had an average age between 40 and 49 years, and 80% had a high conicity index. The caloric and macronutrient intake was adequate, the cardiometabolic risk was present in all the economic classes studied, but the anthropometric variables were similar between the groups. Thus, the study demonstrated that the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk was high among women participating in the study and there was no association between anthropometric indicators and socioeconomic profile.
