- Abstract
This study associated anthropometric indicators with hemodynamic variables, glycaemia and physical fitness of adults. The participants in the study were 60 adults of both sexes (32.90 ± 10.26), sedentary and beginners of a gym. We analyzed variables of blood pressure, heart rate, glycaemia, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference, waist-hip ratio, waist-height ratio (WSR), body mass index, flexibility, and arm and abdominal flexions. Anthropometric variables correlated positively with hemodynamic variables and negatively with physical fitness tests (p<0.05). The results showed WC and WSR as the best predictors of cardiovascular risk among the variables analyzed, indicating their potential performance in early screening for risk of heart disease in adults.
