“…Among workers, health problems such as excess weight appear to be associated with the type of work performed and with the working environment 5 . Prevalence rates of overweight varying from 36.6% to 38.9% and of obesity varying from 12.7% to 17.0% have been observed in technical and administrative staff working at public institutions in Brazil 6,7 . These figures are worrying since, among others, diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular problems and high blood pressure are associated with high levels of body fat.…”

-The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence rates of excess weight and abdominal obesity among technical and administrative staff at the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) using a range of different anthropometric indicators and to identify sociodemographic factors associated with these rates. This was a cross-sectional study of 615 members of staff at UFSC (283 men and 332 women). The following anthropometric indicators were analyzed: body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist to height ratio (WHtR). The following sociodemographic variables were also analyzed: age, sex, skin color, marital status, socioeconomic status, educational level and employment grade. Statistical analysis was conducted using Student's t test, the Mann-Whitney U test and Poisson regression (with a 95% confidence interval). Prevalence rates for men and women respectively were as follows; excess weight: 63.6% and 49.7% (BMI); abdominal obesity (WC): 33.5% and 42.4%; and abdominal obesity (WHtR): 61.8% and 40.6%. Age greater than 40 years was associated with a higher probability of excess weight and abdominal obesity in men (by BMI and WHtR) and women (by BMI, WC and WHtR). Women who had spent 8 years or fewer in education had lower probabilities of excess weight (PR=0.67; 95%CI=0.49; 0.94) and abdominal obesity, by both WC (PR=0.62; 95%CI=0.44; 0.90) and WHtR (PR=0.49; 95%CI=0.39; 0.64). These results indicate an elevated prevalence of excess weight and abdominal obesity and show that the factors associated with these outcomes vary by sex and depending on the anthropometric indicator analyzed.

Foram analisados os indicadores antropométricos: índice de massa corporal (IMC), circunferência da cintura (CC) e razão cintura estatura (RCEst) e as variáveis sociodemográficas

“…In the present investigation, central obesity indicators (AC, WHR and WtHR) were associated with all CvRF analyzed, highlighting the positive association between WHR and TG (p <0.001, R² = 0.25) and AC and SBP (p < 0.001, R² = 0.18), as well as negative association between WHR and HDL-C (p <0.001; R² = 0.19). Several investigations have evaluated the use of anthropometric indicators of central obesity as predictor of cardiovascular risk 9,13,27 . In their study, Haun et al 27 evaluated different anthropometric indicators as predictors of cardiovascular risk in 968 individuals from Salvador, and concluded that central obesity indicators are better to discriminate high cardiovascular risk, and WtHR stands out among them.…”

“…In an investigation carried out with 126 university employees from Bahia, whose aim was to analyze the relationship between AC and CvRF, this indicator was associated with SBP in men and with SBP, DBP, TG, HDL-c and LDL-C in women 9 . These results are in line with those obtained in the present investigation, in which the association of AC with all risk factors analyzed (SBP, DBP, Glucose, TC, HDL-c, LDL-c and TG) is highlighted.…”

“…Evaluating obesity through anthropometric indicators has been frequently performed in population studies [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] . These indicators are easily obtained, present low operating costs, allow the evaluation of a large population contingent and have good agreement with instruments considered gold standard for its evaluation 13,14 .…”

“…Studies have been carried out to identify the association of obesity, evaluated by means of anthropometric indicators, with cardiovascular risk factors (CvRF) [6][7][8][9] . However, these are limited to associating a single anthropometric indicator to several CvRF 6 or, a single CvRF to several anthropometric indicators 7,8 .…”

The aim of this study was to verify general and central obesity, as well as the association of anthropometric indicators with cardiovascular risk factors (CvRF) in teachers of the private network of Viçosa-MG. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 150 teachers. Body mass index (BMI), conicity index (CI), body adiposity index (BAI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist circumference (WC), abdominal circumference (AC) and body fat percentage (%BF); systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP); glycemia (GL), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and triglycerides (TG) were evaluated. The prevalence of general and central obesity was calculated in addition to the simple linear regression to verify the association of anthropometric indicators between themselves and with CvRF. General and central obesity was identified in 19% and 17% of teachers respectively. The best associations between anthropometric indicators were between BMI and WHtR (R² = 0.81), WHtR and AC (R² = 0.78) and BMI and AC (R² = 0.76), all of which were positive. Between anthropometric indicators and CvRF, the best associations were found between WHtR and TG (R² = 0.25), AC and SBP (R² = 0.18) and WHR and HDL-c (R² = 0.19), the first two associations being positive and the last negative. It was concluded that approximately one in five teachers presented obesity. The general obesity indicator, BMI, was positively associated with anthropometric indicators and with most CvRF. However, central obesity indicators presented greater explanatory power on CvRF.

Objective: to investigate the association between hypertension and anthropometric indicators of central obesity, obtained from two anatomical sites in older adults.Methodology: cross-sectional study that involved 145 older adults, from whom socioeconomic and demographic data and anthropometric indicators of central obesity (waist circumference [CC] and abdominal circumference [CA]) were obtained, which were considered independent variables. A logistic regression model was used to analyze associations and for the discriminatory power of the cut-off points of the hypertension anthropometric indicators, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was performed. Comparisons were made between ROC curves, with the aim of identifying significant differences in the discriminatory power of the anthropometric indicators studied.Results: out of the 145 individuals, 79 were females (54%) and 66 males (46%). Results showed a high prevalence of arterial hypertension in men (69,7%) and women (73,4%). Both CC and CA were significantly associated with hypertension in both genders. Parameters of the ROC curve revealed that both anthropometric indicators of central obesity exhibit good discriminatory power for hypertension in the studied population. The cut-off point for CC was > 83,2 cm for men and > 82,6 cm for women; while for CA it was > 85,1 cm and > 85,4 cm for men and women, respectively.Conclusion: CA and CC are significantly associated with hypertension in both genders, and there is no superiority between them to predict hypertension in the elderly population.
