Objective: To access the lipid profile of adult women and to evaluate its relationship with anthropometric measures concerning the central adiposity. Methods: Cross-sectional study, conducted in a clinical school of nutrition at a public university in Minas Gerais, comprising 47 adult women who were on the waiting list for the service. The concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), very low- density lipoprotein (VLDL), triglycerides (TG), and weight, height, waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC) were evaluated. The body mass index (BMI) and waist- hip ratio (WHR) were calculated. Analysis of the association of serum lipids to adiposity variables occurred through the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: Of the volunteers, 22 (51.2%) had TC levels above the borderline values and 18 (41.9%) had high LDL. The proportion of subjects with elevated VLDL and TG levels was relatively low (n=4; 9.3% and n=10; 23.3%, respectively). The WC and WHR were positively correlated with the VLDL and TG levels (p <0.05). Among volunteers with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m², the prevalence of dyslipidemia was 39.5% (n=17) and WC was positively correlated with TC levels (p = 0.04). Conclusion: Results pointed out an association of serum lipids to the measures of central adiposity, with important frequencies of dyslipidemia in the women under investigation, especially high levels of TC and LDL. doi:10.5020/18061230.2013.p258Downloads
