Analysis of the correlation between body composition and blood lipid levels in a healthy physical examination population
Objective To investigate the relationship between changes in body composition and hyperlipidemia in a health check-up population,and to provide a scientific basis for reducing the incidence of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disea-ses.Methods The clinical data,body composition analysis,and blood lipid data of the physical examination participants at our hos-pital from June 2022 to December 2022 were retrospectively collected.According to the blood lipid levels,the participants were divided into the hyperlipidemia group and the normal blood lipid group.The body fat percentage,waist-to-hip ratio,total visceral fat area,and skeletal muscle index of the two groups were compared,and the correlation between them and hyperlipidemia was analyzed.Results A total of 500 subjects were examined by a body composition analyzer,including 253 cases in the hyperlipidemia group and 247 cases in the normal blood lipid group.The body fat percentage,total visceral fat area,waist-hip ratio,and skeletal muscle index in the hyperlipi-demia group were higher than those in the normal blood lipid group(all P<0.05).Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that body fat percentage,total visceral fat area,and waist-hip ratio were positively correlated with elevated blood lipids(P<0.05).Con-clusion Body fat percentage,waist-hip ratio,and total visceral fat area are closely related to the occurrence of hyperlipidemia.
