| Abstract | ¯Abstract Background: Ischemic heart disease is the most prevalent cause of mortality in women and change in lifestyle including better physical fitness could control this condition. Objective: To determine the relationship between physical fitness and obesity in women with coronary involvement. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 113 women aged 40-60 with stable angina, were included. Demographic details and past medical history (hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia) were collected using a questionnaire. Also, the Duke Activity Scale questionnaire (including 12 questions) was completed for each patient. Later, a coronary angiography using Seldinger method was performed and the extent score determined. The body mass index was also calculated. Data were evaluated using SPSS/12, t-student test, and the correlation and regression analysis. Findings: The mean age, coronary involvement score, and the Duke Score were 50.18±8.71 years, 5.85±5.50 and 22.35±14.75, respectively. The coronary involvement score in women with diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension was higher than those without such complications (p | en |
