“…The elderly with HW presented global obesity as assessed by BMI. According Oliveira et al 26 , the increase of the global obesity is associated with increased visceral fat; this may be explained by the strong correlation between BMI and WC, which is considered a simple measure of abdominal obesity and may better reflect the accumulation of intra-abdominal fat 27 . In the elderly, excess body fat can be intensified due to changes in body composition during aging, where there is often a loss of muscle mass and an increase of fat 28 .…”

“…However, these studies did not control for maternal waist circumference (WC) prior to pregnancy. As an anthropometric index, the WC has been demonstrated to be more representative of visceral fat and central adiposity, and also a better predictor of obesity-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease [1314]. But few researches have been conducted to reveal the association between maternal WC before pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes.…”

“…Risk factors such as hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, smoking, inadequate eating habits, sedentary lifestyle, overweight and obesity favor these diseases. 1 The probability of cardiovascular risk is well known to increase or decrease due to inappropriate loss and intake of calories. 2 Studies demonstrate an association of obesity with arterial pressure measures, emphasizing bad food habits and the lack of physical activities as susceptible factors for increasing arterial pressure, suggesting authorities should take action against this problem.…”
