Influência da distribuição da gordura corporal sobre a prevalência de hipertensão arterial e outros fatores de risco cardiovascular em indivíduos obesos

Abstract: Our data reinforce the association between obesity and high cardiovascular risk. In addition, our findings suggested a role for body fat distribution in the development of hypertension in obese patients.

“…The ratio between waist and hip circumference measures (WHR), characterizing the central distribution of fat, has been used to identify the subjects at higher cardiovascular risk (15,17) . In a study performed with obese subjects (15) , it was seen that the WHR increase was not associated with higher pressure levels.…”

“…12 The increase in cardiovascular risk is more associated with the distribution of visceral fat than with the mere increase in body weight. 3 Studies on the oriental population have already evidenced that patients with increased visceral fat, despite their normal body weight, had an increased prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. 3 In this study, all experimental animals had an increase in epididymal fat and the greatest increase in that parameter occurred in the group associating the two models of obesity: exocrine and neuroendocrine (MSG+CAF group).…”

“…2 The high incidence of obesity and its association with risk factors, such as diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and arterial hypertension, increase mortality due to cardiovascular diseases. 3 The coexistence of arterial hypertension and obesity increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, and is frequently associated with dyslipidemia and glucose intolerance, making the possibilities of angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, and sudden death even more frequent. 4 Human obesity is known to be a multifactorial disease, thus, controlling each variable involved in its etiology is impossible.…”
