Abstract

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the relation between fat distribution in subcutaneous and visceral area with other variables in patients suffered for stable angina.Methods: This cross sectional study was done on 40-60 years patients with stable angina. CT scan was determined subcutaneous (deep and superficial) and visceral fat. Body mass index, waist circumference, and blood pressure measurement were calculated by standard protocols. Sugar, triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL-c, HDL-c, Leptin and apolipoproteins A and B were recorded. Data was entered in SPSS15 and analyzed by Student-t and correlation test.Finding: Sixty-six men and 88 women were studied. The mean of BMI, apo A, Leptin, lipids variables were significantly different in two sexes. Total variable fat accumulation in women was greater than men (P < 0.05). The correlation was significant between weight, BMI, WC and Leptin level in both sexes.Conclusion: Relation of fat distributions and other risk factors was different in both sexes, but BMI and WC had significant correlation with CT scan variables.
