title: [Age dependence of metabolic syndrome association with obesity types among women].
abstract: The study included 335 women aged 21 to 74 years. Results showed that age appears to be associated with progressive accumulation of fat tissue and magnitude of the waist-to-hip circumference ratio, which are mostly expressed in the second period of middle age. Ratio of gynoid and android species frequency among women with overweight and obesity in the first and second period of middle age groups and elderly age was 2.7:1; 1.3:1 and 0.2:1, respectively. Occurrence of metabolic syndrome in this age groups of women with gynoid species was 16.3; 18.9 and 30.0%; but with android species 62.5; 47.9 and 83.0%, respectively. Our results allow to state that women with gynoid species have the lowest risk of metabolic syndrome even in elderly age.
