O estudo determinou a relação entre idade e adiposidade em mulheres normotensas (n = 104) e hipertensas (n= 100). As variáveis foram descritas em médias, desvios-padrão e intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC 95%). Comparações entre idade e medidas de adiposidade através dos coeficientes angulares, dos coeficientes de correlação e determinação foram feitas entre os dois grupos. Verificou-se nas mulheres normotensas aumento significativo de adiposidade abdominal (□ = 0,558; IC 95%: 0,105:1,011) em relação às hipertensas (□ = 0,121; IC 95%: -0,278:0,520). Assim, a idade apresentou associação estatisticamente significante com adiposidade periférica em nível abdominal apenas em indivíduos normotensos.

Este estudio determinó la relación entre la edad y la distribución de tejido adiposo global y periférico, medido por los panículos adiposos y circunferencias corporales en mujeres normotensas (n = 104) e hipertensas (n = 100). La hipertensión fue definida por los siguientes valores presóricos: presión arterial sistólica > 140 mmHg y presión arterial diastólica > 90 mmHg. Se realizaron los siguientes análisis estadísticos: descripción de variables en promedios y desvío estándar e intervalos de confidencia del 95%, comparaciones entre las edades y promedios de adiposidad para los dos grupos calculándose los coeficientes de correlación. Se verificó que el grupo de mujeres normotensas presentó aumento significativo de tejido adiposo en la región abdominal (□ = 0,558; IC 95%: 0,105:1,011) con relación a las hipertensas (□ = 0,121; IC 95%: -0,278:0,520) Así, la edad presentó asociación estadísticamente significante con la adiposidad periférica en el ámbito abdominal solamente en individuos normotensos.

This study determined the relationship between age and global and regional body fat distribution, which was measured by skin folds and body circumferences, in normotensive (n = 104) and hypertensive (n = 100) women. Hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure > 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure > 90 mmHg. Statistical analyses was carried out through the description of the variables: mean, standard deviation and 95 % confidence intervals (CI 95%), comparison between age and adiposity measurements for both groups through angular coefficients (□) and CI 95%. Correlation and determination coefficients were also calculated between age and adiposity measurements for normotensive and hipertensive women. We found that normotensive women presented a significant increase of adiposity in the abdomen (□ = 0,558; CI 95%: 0,105:1,011) when compared to hypertensive women (□ = 0,121; CI 95%: -0,278:0,520). Therefore, age presented a statistically significant association with abdominal skin fold only in the group of normotensive patients.
