“…These results are also corroborated by the literature, especially the association between abdominal fat and adverse health outcomes [27]. In older women Rocha et al [28] found a positive correlation between waist circumference and triglycerides, and an inverse correlation between waist circumference and high density lopoprotein, and these two variables are directly associated with cardiovascular diseases, which have high costs in public healthcare [29]. Wong et al [30] found that waist circumference predicted hospitalization for heart failure in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance.…”

A B S T R A C T ObjectiveTo analyze the association between excess abdominal fat and healthcare costs related to hypertension and diabetes Mellitus in older adults. MethodsThese cross-sectional analyses are part of the Health, Wellbeing and Aging Study conducted in São Paulo, Brazil, with 806 older adults with self-reported hypertension and diabetes Mellitus. The study included the annual costs with medicines, hospital admissions, and outpatient services for hypertension and diabetes Mellitus control. Excess abdominal fat was diagnosed based on waist circumference. Level of physical activity, age, and gender were considered covariates. The sample was divided into two groups according to waist circumference. Multiple logistic regression analyzed the associations between annual costs and waist circumference. ResultsThe cost of services and hospitalizations (R$551.05; 95%CI=418.27-683.83) and total costs (R$817.77; 95%CI=669.21-966.33) were higher in the excess abdominal fat group. Older adults with high waist

“…This leads to the development of metabolic syndrome, which comprises a cluster of conditions including hyperglycaemia, dyslipidaemia and AH. Many research studies indicate that BMI, WC, WHR and WHtR are significantly correlated with CVD risk factors, such as dyslipidaemia, AH, type 2 diabetes [ 2 , 23 , 24 ]. The findings in our study show that all analysed anthropometric indexes are significantly associated with CVD risk factors; for this reason, those covariates were included in a multivariable regression analysis.…”

Aims: To estimate trends in anthropometric indexes from 1992 to 2008 and to evaluate the risk of cardiovascular disease mortality in relation to anthropometric indexes (body mass index, waist circumference, waist:hip ratio, waist:height ratio). Methods: Data from the three surveys (1992–2008) are presented. A random sample of 5147 subjects aged 45–64 years was selected for statistical analysis. During follow-up there were 141 deaths from cardiovascular disease (excluding those with cardiovascular disease at entry). Cox’s regression was used to estimate the associations between anthropometric indexes and cardiovascular disease mortality. Results: During a 17-year period among men, the prevalence of obesity (body mass index ⩾30 kg/m2) increased from 18.4% to 32.1% (p<0.001) and a high level of waist:hip ratio (>0.9) from 59.3% to 72.9% (p<0.001). The risk profile of obesity did not change in women, but prevalence of a high level of waist:hip ratio (>0.85) increased from 25.9% to 41.5% (p<0.001). Multivariable-adjusted Cox’s regression models showed that body mass index, waist circumference, waist:hip ratio, waist:height ratio were associated with cardiovascular disease mortality risk only in men (hazard ratios 1.40, 1.45, 1.49, 1.46 respectively (p<0.01)). Conclusions: Our data indicate that anthropometric measures such as body mass index, waist circumference, waist:hip ratio and waist:height ratio are good indicators of cardiovascular disease mortality risk only in men aged 45–64 years.

Correlação entre indicadores de obesidade abdominal e lipídeos séricos em idosos

Abstract: The indicators of abdominal obesity that best correlated with serum lipids in elderly women were WC and WHR. They were predictors of alterations in HDL and TG levels in women, respectively.
