Indicators of Abdominal Adiposity and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness: Results from the Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brazil)

Abstract: BackgroundAbdominal adiposity is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.ObjectiveTo determine the magnitude of the association between abdominal adiposity, according to five different indicators, and the carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT).MethodsData from 8,449 participants aged 35 to 74 years from the ELSA-Brazil study were used. The effect of waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), conicity index (C index), lipid accumulation product (LAP) and visceral adiposity index (VAI) on CIMT were eval… Show more

“…Meanwhile, Jilin Province is one of the regions with the heaviest cardiovascular disease burden in China [16]. Several studies have explored the relationship between VAI and cervical arterial atherosclerosis in individuals with diabetes, obesity or the menopause [17][18][19], but few were built on a large screening survey for the general population, especially for non-obese residents [20][21][22][23]. In addition, with such a high burden of stroke, the epidemiological characteristics in northeast China may have some distinctive features.…”

“…Abdominal obesity has been one of the main public health problems and has drawn researchers' attention, not only because it affects a considerable number of women, but also due to its strong correlation with an increase in morbidity and mortality risks [12]. Thus, researching into abdominal obesity has become relevant, as the conditions of women, mainly those in the climacteric phase, represent a challenge to Primary Care due to its low capacity for meeting these women's real needs.…”

“…A obesidade visceral está associada a um risco maior de distúrbios metabólicos e ocorrência de doenças crônicas. A quantificação da gordura visceral torna-se necessária e também vantajosa na prática clínica, sobretudo por métodos acurados e precisos em substituição aos métodos por imagem, muitas vezes mais onerosos para a população, como a tomografia computadorizada (Roriz et al, 2016;Eickemberg et al, 2019).…”

“…De Michele et al, demonstraram que nas análises multivariadas, IMC e relação cintura-quadril foram preditores significativos da EIMC da carótida, independente de outros riscos cardiovasculares (idade, pressão arterial, alterações lipídicas, insulina em jejum), corroborando com outro estudo realizado por Lakka et al, em 774 homens de meia-idade por 4 anos de segmento, onde mostraram que a obesidade central medida pela circunferência cintura e relação cintura-quadril estava associada a um aumento acelerado da aterosclerose medida pela EIMC, independente de outros fatores de risco cardiovascular(De Michele et al, 2002;Lakka et al, 2001). No Brasil, temos poucos estudos comparando diferentes indicadores de adiposidade com a EIMC(Santos et al,2015;Baena et al, 2016;Eickemberg et al, 2019).Em ambos os estudos, Santos et al, e Baena et al, consideraram a circunferência do pescoço como um indicador associado a EIMC, sugerindo que o efeito local produzido pela gordura do pescoço atue nas artérias carótidas(Santos et al, 2015;Baena et al, 2016). Eickemberg et al, em um recente estudo, avaliaram em 8449 indivíduos adultos (3737 homens e 4712 mulheres) a associação entre adiposidade abdominal (circunferência da cintura, relação cintura-quadril, índice de conicidade, produto de acumulação lipídica e índice de adiposidade visceral) e EIMC, demonstrando através de regressão logística multivariada ajustada por fatores sociodemográficos e cardiovasculares, associação entre o diagnóstico destas medidas de adiposidade central com EIMC em ambos os sexos(Eickemberg et al, 2019).…”
