Longitudinal Study on the Association Between XXXX , Anthropometric Parameters and Blood Lipids.

BACKGROUND: Longitudinal evidence concerning the association between @entity410 ( @entity410 ) and blood lipids and between anthropometric parameters (ANTP) and blood lipids is limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between changes in @entity410 and ANTP and changes in blood lipids. METHODS: In 2002-2004 and 2012-2014 652 @entity1 were tested. @entity410 was measured as VO2peak using a maximal ergometer test. Waist circumference (WC) and Body Mass Index (BMI) were used as ANTP. Blood samples were analyzed for total @entity165 (TC), HDL @entity165 , LDL @entity165 and @entity1674 . A linear regression analysis was performed to investigate associations between changes in @entity410 and ANTP and changes in blood lipids. RESULTS: After adjustment a decrease in @entity410 was associated with an increase in @entity1674 and a decrease in HDL @entity165 in @entity1 . An increase in WC was associated with an increase in TC, LDL @entity165 and ratio total/HDL @entity165 and a decrease in HDL @entity165 , while an increase in BMI was associated with an increase in ratio total/HDL @entity165 and a decrease in HDL @entity165 . CONCLUSIONS: WC and BMI were more longitudinally associated with blood lipids compared to @entity410 . Improving ANTP can enhance the blood lipid profile, while @entity410 had only limited influence.
