Abstract: A high prevalence of HW and its association with altered lipid profile and excess body weight was observed. HW showed to be an important diagnostic tool for the monitoring of hypertensive women with metabolic risk, which is low cost, easily accessible, and useful in clinical practice, especially in primary health care in the Brazilian Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS).

“…These characteristics were also found in other studies in the country, which indicate that women are the main users of basic health care units. 20 , 21 The predominance of the population in the less-favored economic classes, as observed by Haack et al, 21 can be explained by the data collection site, which is a public health service. The low frequency of smokers, physically active persons or frequent consumers of alcohol explains the fact that these characteristics are not associated with the HTGW phenotype.…”

“…The cutoff point adopted for that study was suggested by Brazilian guidelines (WC ≥94 cm for men and ≥80 cm for women and TG ≥150 mg/dL for both sexes). 23 Another study carried out by Cabral et al 20 found a prevalence of 33% in hypertensive women ≥50 years old in the city of São Luís, Maranhão, using the cutoff points of the NCEP. 7 However, in the southern region of Brazil, smaller values were found in a study conducted with young adults between 22 and 23 years of age, with a prevalence of the HTGW phenotype of 5.9% in men and 4.5% in women.…”

“…O valor de prevalência do FCH observado no presente estudo foi de 34,6%. Estes se assemelham aos encontrados por Cabral et al (2012), que avaliaram mulheres hipertensas com média de idade de 60,9 anos, demonstrando uma prevalência mais próxima ao deste estudo (33%), justificado pela característica da amostra deste estudo, composto majoritariamente por mulheres hipertensas.…”

“…O presente estudo também identificou associação positiva entre FCH e faixa etária de idoso jovem, concordando com outros pesquisadores (FREITAS et al, 2018;FERNÁNDEZ-GARCÍA et al, 2020) variáveis independentes em ambos os sexos de adultos e idosos. Outras pesquisas que avaliaram adultos diabéticos e não diabéticos, observaram que a faixa etária >45 anos, foi fator significante associado ao fenótipo (CABRAL et al, 2012;FREITAS et al, 2018;WESCHENFELDER et al, 2017). ANDRADE et al, 2017;LI et al, 2019).…”
