This study was designed to provide aerobic power level to keep a lower levels of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CAHD) risk factors of female. Predicted maximal oxygen uptake per kilogram of body weight (VO2 max/wt) and percent body fat (%Fat), blood pressure (SBP/DBP), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and TC/HDL-C were examined in 207 middle-aged female. The subjects were divided into two groups by VO2 max/wt corresponding to border line values of CAHD risk factors; the upper was good group and the lower was poor group, and CAHD risk factor status were compared between two groups.
The findings were as follows;
1. VO2 max/wt were correlated with %Fat, SBP, DBP, TG, HDL-C and TC/HDL-C (p<0.001), but not with TC. After adjusted for the effects of age and %Fat, 102 max/wt were correlated with SBP and HDL-C (p<0.05).
2. %Fat, SBP, DBP, TG and TC/HDL-C in good group were lower than in poor group (p<0.001), while HDL-C was higher (p<0.01).
3. The subjects with plural CAHD risk factors and with isochemic change on ECG were mainly observed in poor group.
From these results, we concluded that VO2 max/wt is an effective parameter to quantify the CAHD risk factors status, and that VO2 max/wt corresponding to border line values of CAHD risk factors is necessary to keep CAHD risk lower in female as well as in male.
