Relationship between Pattern of Fat Distribution and Body Mass Index with Serum Lipid in Active and Inactive Secondary Girls

Background and The goal of this research is to determine the relationship between the body index mass and the pattern of the distribution of fat with blood lipid serum in 10-14 years old girls. In this research, first the extent of body activity was determined by Beak physical activity questionnaire. Then a sample population of 106 persons was chosen randomly among 780 students in educating in secondary school in Bandar Abbas. 55 people were put in inacative group and other 51 in active group. Height, weight, waist perimeter and pelvic perimeter were measured in order to determine the body mass index and the patter of fat distribution in the body. Then blood’ sample was taken in order to examine blood fat level in the early morning. The Pearson correlation (measurement of relation within group) and t-student test (compare the groups) were used to data analyse. The results showed a meaningful relationship between the pattern on the distribution of body fat with the blood fat, and body mass index with the blood fat in the two groups (p < 0.05). Moreover, based on t-student statistical test among the testable population in two groups, there was a difference with respect to body mass index and the pattern of fat distribution, but there wasn’t a considerable difference between Low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL), triglycerides, and cholesterol between the two groups. Based on the results, a remarkable relationship can be found between body mass index and the pattern of fat distribution and blood fats, which are important factors affecting heart illness, but based on the extent of body activity, no difference was seen between the people of two groups in same cases.
