The study investigated associations between anthropometric measures (BMI and waist–hip ratio), physical activity, and psychosocial factors (measured by depression via the Beck Depression Inventory) in 30 women diagnosed with endometriosis compared with 30 age-matched non-endometriosis controls. Using BMI/WHR measurements plus International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and BDI, the authors found a significant between-group difference in BMI and reported that increased BMI, WHR, and BDI were associated with endometriosis based on odds ratio and relative risk analyses (p < 0.05). The explicit limitation stated is not detailed beyond the cross-sectional recruitment size described in the abstract. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on how BMI, WHR, and depression relate to endometriosis risk alongside physical activity.

Abstract

Aim. To find out the association between the anthropometric measurement, the physical activity, psychosocial level and endometriosis. Materials and Methods. Thirty women diagnosed as endometriosis and 30 age matched non endometriosis women were recruited. Anthropometric measurement – Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist hip ratio (WHR) was measured. International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and Beck Depression Inventory scale (BDI) were used to measure the physical activity level and the psychosocial level respectively. Results. There was a significant difference in BMI between the groups. The odds ratio and relative risk analysis of endometriosis showed that there is an association between increased BMI, WHR, BDI and the risk of endometriosis (p 30, WHR > 0.85 and BDI > 16) are associated with increased risk of endometriosis.
