Níveis de intervenção para obesidade abdominal: prevalência e fatores associados

Abstract: Estudo transversal de base populacional na Cidade de Pelotas, Sul do Brasil, entre 1999 e 2000, para descrever a distribuição de adiposidade abdominal na população de acordo com os níveis de intervenção e identificar fatores de risco. O estudo incluiu uma amostra de 1.935 adultos (20-69 anos) residentes na zona urbana do município. Obesidade abdominal foi classificada como nível I para circunferência da cintura (CCnI) de 80-88cm em mulheres e de 94-102cm em homens; e nível II (CCnII) > 88cm para mulheres e … Show more

“…For each additional unit in the body mass index, the possibility of blood pressure levels compatible with arterial hypertension increased by 18.3%; for each unit increase in glucose levels (1mg/dL), the possibility of arterial hypertension increased by 3.9%, while the habit to consume sleep inhibitors exerted a protective effect on the possibility of developing arterial hypertension (Table 4). the waist circumference analysis, which was also higher in comparison with ratios observed in the South of Brazil (16)(17) . Although abdominal obesity and obesity itself increase cardiovascular risks, increased waist circumference is associated with obstructive sleep apnea, which results in oxyhemoglobin desaturation episodes, provoking frequent awakening at night and, hence, sleepiness during the day (18)(19) .…”

Some studies use WC≥0.88m, but in the present study, it was chosen to evaluate high risk rather than very high risk, which is what this cut-off point defines (1) .…”
