hips belt size show our ages

AGE We're In Tie Waist/ belt size !
READ the title above, obtained two highly controversial notion. First on the belt that is just accessories that are always subject to almost everyone every day. Second, about cholesterol, which suggests scary, because people always associate with coronary heart disease.
According to the household health survey (SKRT, 1995) coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death topnotch. But, that's the conclusion of a study on the relationship between fat content in the abdominal cavity with cholesterol levels. To more clearly, let us further apart.
Excess food energy we consume each day cumulatively be backfilled as energy reserves in the form of body fat. By using Caliper, body parts are often carried out measurements to determine the existence of body fat among others on the front of the upper arm / biceps, arm over the back / triceps, on the back of the body exactly in the shoulder blade / subscapula and on suprailiaca.
According to Van Loan MD (1996) that body fat associated with heart disease is the accumulation of fat in the abdominal cavity. Meanwhile, BjOntOrp (1991) states that the fat in the abdominal cavity is a strong predictor of heart disease, blood vessels, and diabetes mellitus. Other experts, Wahlqvist ML (1977) that the fat in the abdominal cavity is the trigger for the occurrence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hiperlipidaemia, and cardiovascular disease. Meanwhile, according Ellissa Epel (2000) from San Francisco that for underweight women who often stress will increase the secretion of the hormone cortisol which can lead to accumulation of fat in the abdominal cavity as heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke and diabetes mellitus.
According to Lapidus (1994) is technically to determine the existence of fat deposits in the abdominal cavity by looking at the value for the waist circumference by hip circumference, or better known as the value of waist-hip circumference ratio (RLPP) or waist to hip ratio. By using a tape meter used by tailors, waist circumference measured precisely or centimeters above the navel, and hip circumference were measured to the right in the middle of the buttocks.
RLPP high value reflects the amount of fat in the abdominal cavity. Next Bray (1996) divides RLPP into two categories, namely category RLPP high and low RLPP. For men is considered high if the value RLPP more than 0.95 and for women more than 0.80. In addition, body fat as well as a reflection of overweight / overweight or obese. Meanwhile, Hippocrates (460-359 BC), better known as the father of science, since the distant days have suggested that obese people die sooner.
From the above description can be concluded that body fat is very close to a variety of degenerative diseases. Degenerative diseases which are very popular ie coronary heart disease. One of the risk factors for coronary heart disease is due to the occurrence dislipidaemia.
Dislipidaemia manifestation is the high species total cholesterol and high LDL cholesterol and low HDL cholesterol types. Total cholesterol in the community better known as cholesterol alone. While LDL cholesterol is known as a type of bad cholesterol, because it can cause the occurrence of coronary artery calcification and send and hoarding of cholesterol in coronary arteries and are highly atherogenic.
If associated with coronary heart disease, the risk of CHD increased 1.0 percent for every increase of 1 mg / dl LDL cholesterol. Therefore, try to always lower your LDL cholesterol levels (below 130 mg / dl) and low total cholesterol (below 200 mg / dl). Instead type HDL cholesterol is known as good cholesterol, because as the core oxidant that can inhibit the production of peroxidase fat or prevent LDL oxidation and can reduce blood clotting. If associated with coronary heart disease, that the risk of heart disease will decrease 2-3 percent for each additional 1 mg / dl HDL cholesterol. Therefore, try to always higher your HDL cholesterol levels (above 45 mg / dl).
As evidence of allegations about a link between fat in the abdominal cavity that stated at the RLPP with cholesterol levels, it has been studied in the city of Surabaya. The result is that there is a significantly positive relationship between RLPP parallel with LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol. That is, the higher the value RLPP or more deposition of fat in the abdominal cavity will be followed by high LDL cholesterol levels was also accompanied by increased total cholesterol.
In simple terms it can be said that the higher levels of LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol the longer belt size of one person. Or LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol level is directly proportional to the length belt. To reduce total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, in addition to drugs is to lose weight to achieve ideal body weight.
As for HDL cholesterol, there is a significantly negative relationship between RLPP parallel with HDL cholesterol. This means that the higher the value RLPP or the more fat deposits in the abdominal cavity will be followed by merendahnya HDL cholesterol levels. Simply dikakan that the longer the person's belt, the lower the HDL cholesterol level person. Or HDL cholesterol is inversely proportional to the length belt. To raise levels of HDL cholesterol, in addition to drugs is to increase physical activity, losing weight and not smoking.
One study proved that by doing aerobics and jogging run that requires 6 kilocalories per minute for one hour 3-4 times per week over a period of six months can increase HDL cholesterol reached 33.83 percent. In addition, that any reduction in 0.5 kg of fat will increase one percent HDL cholesterol.
