Obesity and cardiovascular diseases in adults and elderly in Croatia

Introduction: Inappropriate dietary habits and inadequate physical activity resulting in obesity are the most common risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) morbidity which are the leading cause of death in adults in industrialized countries. Methods: 100 subjects of 40 to 70 ages were recruited for the study. Study encompassed short questionnaire used to collect data on dietary and lifestyle habits and morbidity of CVDs and anthropometric measurements used to determine weight, height, BMI, body fat percentage and visceral fat level. Results: Although 64% of participants declared them self as persons who take care of their health, obtained data have shown that 55% of participants are overweight and 27% obese, leaving only 17% of participants in normal weight category. Body fat percentage was normal in only 17% of participants, while 29% of participants had high, and 52% very high body fat percentage. Visceral fat index was high in 39% of participants. Results have also revealed that 61% has at least one of studied health problems (hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, myocardial infarction and stroke) and 50% of those with health problems had more than one problem at the same time. 65% of participants have declared to believe that diet and physical activity can positively influence their health but dietary questionnaire has shown that their dietary habits are inadequate and knowledge on functional foods and dietary supplements low. Conclusion: Having in mind awareness on positive impact of diet and physical activity on health, community interventions might help in lowering the incidence of CVDs.
