“…The growing evidence showed abdominal obesity independent of body mass index or generalized obesity [43, 45]. Consistent with our study, the study in Ecuador among older adults [46] revealed that hypertension was significantly associated with abdominal obesity. However, a study conducted among adults in Jigjiga City [12] reported that abdominal obesity was not associated with hypertension.…”

Background. Hypertension is a major cardiovascular risk factor that is linked with fatal complications and is an overwhelming global challenge. Primary prevention is a key to control hypertension with identification of major risk factors. This study was aimed at assessing the prevalence and factors associated with hypertension. Methods. Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 903 adults aged 25 to 64 years in Dire Dawa City, East Ethiopia. Data were collected using World Health Organization (WHO) STEPwise approach to Surveillance (STEPS) for non-communicable disease (NCD) standard survey tool. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify relative effects of distal, proximal, and immediate risk factors of hypertension, and all statistical tests were declared significantly at P-value<0.05. Results. The average SBP and DBP were 124.98±17.18 mmHg and 78.92±10.13 mmHg, respectively. The prevalence of hypertension was 24.43% (95% CI: 21.57, 27.28). Majority (51.64%) of adults were not aware of their elevated blood pressure status. hypertension was significantly associated with the age group 30-44 (aOR 3.61, 95% CI: 2.0, 6.55), 45-54 (aOR 5.36, 95% CI: 2.62, 10.91), and 55-64 (aOR 9.38, 95% CI: 4.73, 18.59), being unemployed (aOR 1.68, 95%CI: 1.03, 2.77), ever smoking (aOR 1.89, 95% CI: 1.04, 2.23), having abdominal obesity (aOR 1.72, 95% CI: 1.13, 2.64), and BMI≥25 kg/m2 (aOR 1.48, 95%CI: 1.01, 2.15). Conclusion. Moderately high prevalence of hypertension was observed among adults in study setting demonstrating a major public health problem. Majority of adults with hypertension in study setting were not aware of their elevated BP status highlighting the burden of the hidden morbidity and subsequent complications. Community level intervention and routine assessment of sociodemographic, behavioral, and biophysiological risk factors, screening, and diagnosis of NCDs should be institutionalized to address the occult burden.

Background: Subjects with normal weight obesity (NOW) are supposed to cardiometabolic disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the circulating levels of vaspin and leptin and their association with glycemic and lipid profiles in women with NWO compared to controlsMaterial & Methods: Forty women with BMI:18.5-24.9 kg/m2 and FM ≥ 30% as a NOW group and 30 age matched women with same BMI range and FM<30% as control group were enrolled. Anthropometric measurement, fasting serum levels of fasting blood sugar (FBS), insulin, HbA1c, lipid profiles and also, leptin and vaspin were measured. Results: The mean ± SD of age were 28.76±4.76 years in NWO group and 29.23 ± 4.50 years in controls. Subjects in NWO group had higher serum level of insulin (9.02 ± 4.75 vs.6.24 ± 2.51, p= 0.009), leptin (17.31 ± 8.10 vs. 9.94 ± 4.30, p<0.001) and HOMA-IR (33.77 ± 20.71 vs. 23.48 ± 10.03, p=0.009) compared to the NWNO group. Serum level of vaspin was higher in NWO (34.82 pg/ml) than control group (27.72 pg/ml),(p=0.12). In NWO subjects, serum level of leptin showed positive association with FBS (r=0.45, p=0.02), insulin (r=0.51, p=0.008), and HOMA-IR (r=0.46, p= 0.02) and vaspin concentration was positively associated with insulin (r=0.36, p= 0.02) and HOMA-IR (r=0.30, p=0.06). Conclusion: We observed that women with NWO had statistically significant increased concentration of insulin and HOMA-IR index compared to the controls. Higher levels of leptin and vaspin in NWO were associated with glycemic profiles in NWO.

Abstract Background: Subjects with normal weight obesity (NWO) are supposed to cardiometabolic disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the circulating levels of vaspin and leptin and their association with glycemic and lipid profiles in women with NWO compared to controlsMethods: Forty women with body mass index (BMI)=18.5-24.9 kg/m2 and fat mass (FM) ≥ 30% as NWO group and 30 age matched women with same BMI range and FM<30% as control group were enrolled in this study. Anthropometric measurement, fasting serum levels of blood sugar (FBS), insulin, Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), lipid profiles and also, leptin and vaspin were measured.Results: The mean ± standard deviation (SD) of age was 28.76 ± 4.76 years in NWO group and 29.23 ± 4.50 years in controls. Subjects in NWO group had higher serum levels of insulin (9.02 ± 4.75 vs.6.24 ± 2.51, p= 0.009), leptin (17.31 ± 8.10 vs. 9.94 ± 4.30, p<0.001) and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (33.77 ± 20.71 vs. 23.48 ± 10.03, p=0.009) as compared to normal weight non-obese (NWNO) as control group. Serum level of vaspin in NWO group (34.82 pg/ml) was higher than that in controls (27.72 pg/ml), (p=0.12). In NWO group, serum level of leptin was correlated positively with FBS (r=0.45, p=0.02), insulin (r=0.51, p=0.008), and HOMA-IR (r=0.46, p=0.02) and vaspin concentration was positively associated with insulin (r=0.36, p= 0.02) and HOMA-IR (r=0.30, p=0.06). Conclusion: We observed that concentration of insulin and HOMA-IR index were significantly increased in women with NWO compared to the controls. Higher levels of leptin and vaspin in NWO were associated with glycemic profiles in NWO group.
