Waist circumference: measurement protocols and their practical applicability

Abstract: Circunferências de cintura e abdômen chamam atenção, pois muitas vezes são confundidas, não havendo um consenso sobre pontos de medida e sobre como diferenciar circunferência de cintura e circunferência abdominal. Nosso objetivo foi compilar estudos que utilizaram essas medidas, comparando metodologias, objetivos e ocasiões nas quais elas foram usadas. Para isso, foram consultados livros brasileiros, bem como artigos das bases SciELO e PubMed, com os descritores: “circunferência de cintura”, “circunferência de… Show more

“…Studies on the relationship between the presence of chronic diseases and QoL of quilombola communities are rare. Oliveira et al 34 carried out a study with 756 quilombolas from northern Minas Gerais, and showed that the presence of chronic disease was associated with negative self-perception of health. Their results partially coincide with those of this study, in that individuals with MS presented worse mean scores in the assertions of the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire in relation to the Physical domain.…”

“…The most used definition, which was employed in the present study, determines that abdominal circumference is located between the last ribs and the iliac crest, in its largest perimeter, and can coincide with the umbilical scar or not. Waist circumference, in turn, is measured at the point that has the smallest perimeter of the region [ 21 ]. This information is relevant because different cut-off points and measurement locations generate equivocal prevalence values, hindering the design of strategies for improved prevention.…”

“…Abdominal circumference was measured with a flexible, inelastic tape of the TBW ® brand that has a graduation interval of 0.1 cm. Abdominal circumference was measured directly on the skin, at the midpoint between the last rib and the iliac crest [ 21 ]. During the measurement, the woman remained in orthostatic position, with arms along the body, abdomen relaxed, looking at a fixed point in front of her [ 18 ].…”

“…A CC foi medida com fita métrica não flexível, diretamente sobre a pele na região do abdômen, no ponto médio entre a borda inferior da última costela e a borda superior da crista ilíaca. Para a classificação de obesidade abdominalforam utilizados os pontos de corte da circunferência da cintura de acordo com o sexo: risco de desenvolver doença cardiovascular para o sexo masculino com circunferência da cintura entre 94 a 102 cm, e para o sexo feminino entre 80 a 88 cm; alto risco de desenvolver doença cardiovascular para os homens com uma circunferência de cintura maior ou igual a 102 cm, e para as mulheres maior ou igual a 88 cm (Oliveira & Rodrigues, 2016) .…”
