OBJECTIVE
To analyze differences in body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference according to cardiorespiratory fitness in active military men.
METHODS
The study sample comprised 50,523 active military men of the Brazilian army. Anthropometric measures (body mass, height, and waist circumference) and maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) information, estimated in a 12-min run, were obtained in a fitness test in 2001.
RESULTS
Subjects' age ranged between 18 and 52 years, but most were young (mean+/-SD 25.8+/-6.6 years). Cardiorespiratory fitness varied from 22.2 to 82.5 mL.O2.kg(-1).min(-1). Waist circumference mean values were significantly lower in those subjects in the highest fitness level compared to those in the lowest level (p<0.001) even after adjusting for age, BMI, and both together.
CONCLUSIONS
For the same BMI, military men with better cardiorespiratory fitness have significantly lower waist circumference measures compared to those with lower fitness. These findings suggest that military with better physical fitness have lower abdominal fat accumulation.
目的
分析现役军人中根据心肺适能划分的体重指数（BMI）和腰围差异。
方法
研究样本包括50523名巴西陆军现役军人。2001年在体能测试中获取了人体测量指标（体重、身高和腰围）以及通过12分钟跑估算的最大摄氧量（VO2max）信息。
结果
受试者年龄在18至52岁之间，但大多数为年轻人（平均±标准差25.8±6.6岁）。心肺适能在22.2至82.5 mL·O2·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹之间变化。即使在调整年龄、BMI以及两者共同作用后，最高适能水平的受试者腰围平均值仍显著低于最低适能水平的受试者（p<0.001）。
结论
对于相同的BMI，心肺适能较好的军人与适能较低的军人相比，腰围测量值显著更低。这些发现表明身体素质较好的军人腹部脂肪堆积较少。
