Relationship of abdominal obesity with cardiovascular disease, diabetes and hyperlipidaemia in Spain

Abstract: Half of the primary care patients studied showed abdominal obesity as measured by WC, whereas one-third was obese by BMI. Abdominal obesity was strongly associated with CVD and diabetes, even in patients lean by BMI. WC should be included in the routine clinical practice in addition to BMI.

“…Obesity is currently considered a worldwide epidemic, prompting a major health concern and becoming a priority in public health policies (Bray and Bellanger, 2006;Flegal et al, 2010;Golden et al, 2009;Gutierrez-Fisac et al, 2011;WHO, 2009) because adiposity excess lead to a greater risk for cardiovascular diseases (Casanueva et al, 2009), diabetes (Seidell, 2000) and cancer (Crujeiras et al, 2012), among other complications (Pi-Sunyer, 2009). The general failure to develop effective anti-obesity treatments likely reflects the lack of complete understanding body weight and appetite regulation (Chaput and Tremblay, 2006).…”

“…[29][30][31][32] Al comparar con el diagnóstico de hipertensión arterial, encontramos que es la patología más reportada en nuestra población y presenta una prevalencia mayor en los sujetos con sobrepeso y obesidad (45.9 y 43.8%, respectivamente) que en aquellos con normopeso (33.3%) estos resultados son similares a los reportados por otros autores, debido a que está ampliamente demostrada la asociación entre estas dos enfermedades. 29,30,[33][34][35] Se encontró menor prevalencia de dislipidemia diagnosticada en los sujetos con sobrepeso y obesidad comparada con aquellos con normopeso, contradiciendo lo reportado por otros autores; sin embargo cabe aclarar que no podemos negar la relación existente entre la obesidad y la dislipidemia ya que en diversas unidades del Sistema Nacional de Salud no se implementan las recomendaciones debido a los costos implicados y la sobresaturación de servicios (4.4% y 9.5% respectivamente).…”

“…Danforth et al found, in a recent study, the association of this pathology only with UUI. 50 We should also keep in mind that obesity is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus, 51 therefore, the existence of the first variable can affect the results of studies assessing risk factors.…”
