Associations of visceral fat area and physical activity levels with the risk of metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women.

This study was aimed at the evaluation of relationship between visceral fat area (VFA) and physical activity (PA) with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk in the physically active postmenopausal women. A total of 85 attendants of the University of the Third Age (U3A) aged 62.8 ± 5.

Physical activity, body composition and general health status of physically active students of the University of the Third Age (U3A).

Objective: To evaluate general health status of a group of older adults, physically active students of the University of the Third Age (U3A), based on results of biochemical analyses of blood, assessment of their physical activity (PA) level, body composition and cognitive function with respect to age and sex.

Methods: A total of 104 students (85 women and 19 men, aged 63.7±6.

Postmenopausal obesity: 12,500 steps per day as a remedy? Relationships between body composition and daily steps in postmenopausal women.

Introduction: To verify relationships between physical activity (steps per day) and obesity (components of body composition) among postmenopausal women.

Material And Methods: Physical activity (ActiGraph GT1M accelerometer; worn for 7 days) and obesity (body composition analyzer InBody 720) were assessed among 79 healthy postmenopausal women (age 63.25 ± 5.

Association between physical activity (PA) guidelines and body composition variables in middle-aged and older women.

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between volume and frequency of moderate-intensity PA and step-based recommendations and individual body composition variables. Our cohort included 167 healthy ambulatory women (mean age 62.8 ± 4.
