Abstract

The study included 335 women aged 21–74. The results have shown that age is associated with the progressive accumulation of fat tissue and an increase in the waist-to-hip circumference ratio, which are mostly expressed in the second period of middle age. The ratio of the frequencies of gynoid and android species among overweight and obese women in the first and second period of middle-aged groups and old age was 2.7: 1; 1.3: 1 and 0.2: 1, respectively. The occurrence of metabolic syndrome in this age groups of women with gynoid species was 16.3, 18.9, and 30.0%; however, for android species, it was 62.5, 47.9, and 83.0%, respectively. Our results allow us to state that women with gynoid species are at the lowest risk for metabolic syndrome, even in old age.
