Abstract

Objective Although the transition to menopause is a part of the normal aging process, changes occurring at this stage of life, affect the health-risk profile of women. This effect depends on many factors. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between physical activity and anthropometric and bioimpedance characteristics in postmenopausal women. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 95 postmenopausal women over 45 years of age who were chosen in the records of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Practice and Research Hospital. The data were collected by socio-demographic data survey prepared by the researchers, International Physical Activity Test-short form, anthropometric measurements and measurement of body composition. Results: The average weight of 95 participants with a mean age of 61.7 ± 7.2 [47 - 77] and an average of 14.6 ± 7.4 [1 - 35] years in the postmenopausal period was 74.0 ± 13.6 [46.6 - 110,0] kg, height was 155.9 ± 6.0 [141 - 171] cm. There was a statistically negative correlation between the period after menopause and body weight. There was a negative correlation between age and time over menopause and lean mass. There was no correlation between the participants' IPAQ scores and age. The mean body weight, waist circumference, hip circumference of the participants were significantly higher in IPAQ Category I than in Category II. The fat mass, fat percentage and lean mass averages of the participants' bioimpedance measurements were significantly higher in IPAQ Category I than Category II. Average SMI, ASMI, ALMI calculations were not significantly different between IPAQ categories. Conclusion: Given the insufficiency of post-menopausal hormone use in protecting against heart disease, the role of exercise in health protection is important. As we have shown in our study, the integration of physical activity into life, regardless of menopause duration or age, is characterized by low waist circumference, fat mass, fat percentage and an increase in lean mass.

Özet

Giriş ve Amaç: Menopoz geçişi normal yaşlanma sürecinin bir parçası olmasına rağmen devamındaki değişiklikler kadınların sağlık-risk profilini etkilemektedir ve bu etki, birçok faktöre bağlıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı postmenopozal kadınlarda fiziksel aktiflik durumu ile antropometrik ve vücut kompozisyonu özelliklerinin ilişkisini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel nitelikteki bu çalışma Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart Üniversitesi Uygulama ve Araştırma Hastanesi kayıtlarında bulunan 45 yaş üstü 95 postmenopozal kadınla yürütülmüştür. Veriler araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan sosyodemografik veri anketi, Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Testi-kısa formu, antropometrik ölçümler ve biyoempedans yoluyla vücut kompozisyonunun ölçümü ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 61,7 ± 7,2 [47 - 77] olan ve ortalama 14,6 ± 7,4 [1 - 35] yıldır postmenopozal dönemde olan 95 katılımcının ortalama ağırlığı 74,0 ± 13,6 [46,6 – 110,0] kg, boyu 155,9 ± 6,0 [141 - 171] cm idi. Menopoz sonrası geçen süre ile vücut ağırlığı arasında anlamlı negatif korelasyon mevcuttu. Yaş ve menapoz üzerinden geçen süre ile yağsız kitle arasında anlamlı negatif korelasyon mevcuttu. Katılımcıların IPAQ skorları ile yaş arasında korelasyon yoktu. Katılımcıların vücut ağırlığı, bel çevresi, kalça çevresi ortalamaları IPAQ Kategori I’de Kategori II’dekinden anlamlı yüksekti. Katılımcıların biyoempedans ölçümlerinden yağ kitlesi, yağ yüzdesi ve yağsız kitlesi ortalamaları IPAQ Kategori I’de, Kategori II’den anlamlı yüksekti. Ortalama SMI, ASMI, ALMI hesaplamaları IPAQ kategorileri arasında anlamlı farklı değildi. Sonuç: Menopoz sonrası hormon kullanımının kalp hastalıklarına karşı korunmasındaki yetersizliği göz önüne alındığında, sağlığın korunmasında egzersizin rolü önemlidir. Çalışmamızda da gösterdiğimiz üzere menopoz süresi veya yaşın bir önemi olmaksızın fiziksel aktivitenin hayata entegre edilmesi düşük bel çevresi, yağ kitlesi, yağ yüzdesi ve yağsız kitlede artış ile karakterizedir.
