| description | The increasing number of people who are overweight and obese worldwide leads to an increase in the
cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Although the risk of complications is associated with a high Body
Mass Index, the distribution of adipose tissue is a more significant factor for development of morbidity
and mortality. Numerous studies have shown that in the android (central) type of obesity, the risk of
developing metabolic syndrome is increased. The aim of this study was to determine the risk of metabolic
complications in connection with the distribution of adipose tissue, among students of Sofia University
“St. Kliment Ohridski”. Methods: Data was collected by measuring the anthropometric indicators "Waist
circumference", "Hip circumference" and calculating "Waist/hip ratio", and was statistically processed
and analyzed. Results: The analysis of the study’s results shows a high percentage of the students with an
increased risk of morbidity. Conclusions: The results obtained show a high percentage of young people
with an increased risk of metabolic complications. In this regard, the author recommends an obesity
prevention program involving a healthy diet model and regular, targeted physical activity and sports. |
