We examined lifestyle and dietary habits in 685 men and 943 women (mean age 67 years) who completed an interview, examination, and food frequency questionnaire in 1984-87. Waist-to-hip ratio increased with age and body mass index in both men and women. In multiple regression, waist-to-hip ratio was independently associated with smoking, alcohol consumption, and exercise in men, and with smoking and alcohol consumption in women. The data suggest that waist-to-hip ratio is affected, at least in part, by behavioral, and potentially modifiable, factors.
我们调查了685名男性和943名女性(平均年龄67岁)的生活方式和饮食习惯,这些人在1984年至1987年期间完成了访谈、检查以及食物频率问卷调查。男性和女性的腰臀比均随年龄和体重指数的增加而升高。在多元回归分析中,腰臀比在男性中与吸烟、饮酒及运动独立相关,在女性中与吸烟和饮酒相关。数据表明,腰臀比至少部分受到行为因素的影响,而这些因素可能是可以改变的。
