Abstract

Many studies have aimed to determine whether body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), or waist to hip ratio (WHR) best predicts hypertension in diabetic patients, with conflicting results. However, no study has examined the specific relationship between these anthropometric parameters with sustained normotension (SNT), white coat hypertension (WCHT), masked hypertension (MHT), and sustained hypertension (SHT) based on office and ambulatory blood pressure (BP) measurements in these patients.

Waist circumference and abdominal sagittal diameter: best simple anthropometric indexes of abdominal visceral adipose tissue accumulation and related cardiovascular risk in men and women.

M Pouliot, J P Després, S Lemieux … (1994)

The amount of abdominal visceral adipose tissue measured by computed tomography is a critical correlate of the potentially "atherogenic" metabolic disturbances associated with abdominal obesity. In this study conducted in samples of 81 men and 70 women, data are presented on the anthropometric correlates of abdominal visceral adipose tissue accumulation and related cardiovascular disease risk factors (triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, fasting and postglucose insulin and glucose levels). Results indicate that the waist circumference and the abdominal sagittal diameter are better correlates of abdominal visceral adipose tissue accumulation than the commonly used waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). In women, the waist circumference and the abdominal sagittal diameter also appeared more closely related to the metabolic variables than the WHR. When the samples were divided into quintiles of waist circumference, WHR or abdominal sagittal diameter, it was noted that increasing values of waist circumference and abdominal sagittal diameter were more consistently associated with increases in fasting and postglucose insulin levels than increasing values of WHR, especially in women. These findings suggest that the waist circumference or the abdominal sagittal diameter, rather than the WHR, should be used as indexes of abdominal visceral adipose tissue deposition and in the assessment of cardiovascular risk. It is suggested from these data that waist circumference values above approximately 100 cm, or abdominal sagittal diameter values > 25 cm are most likely to be associated with potentially "atherogenic" metabolic disturbances.

Waist circumference as a measure for indicating need for weight management.

M. Lean, T S Han, C Morrison (1995)

To test the hypothesis that a single measurement, waist circumference, might be used to identify people at health risk both from being overweight and from having a central fat distribution. A community derived random sample of men and women and a second, validation sample. North Glasgow. 904 men and 1014 women (first sample); 86 men and 202 women (validation sample). Waist circumference, body mass index, waist:hip ratio. Waist circumference > or = 94 cm for men and > or = 80 cm for women identified subjects with high body mass index (> or = 25 kg/m2) and those with lower body mass index but high waist:hip ratio (> or = 0.95 for men, > or = 0.80 women) with a sensitivity of > 96% and specificity > 97.5%. Waist circumference > or = 102 cm for men or > or = 88 cm for women identified subjects with body mass index > or = 30 and those with lower body mass index but high waist:hip ratio with a sensitivity of > 96% and specificity > 98%, with only about 2% of the sample being misclassified. Waist circumference could be used in health promotion programmes to identify individuals who should seek and be offered weight management. Men with waist circumference > or = 94 cm and women with waist circumference > or = 80 cm should gain no further weight; men with waist circumference > or = 102 cm and women with waist circumference > or = 88 cm should reduce their weight.

Body mass index, waist circumference, and health risk: evidence in support of current National Institutes of Health guidelines.

Robert Ross, Ian Janssen, Peter Katzmarzyk (2002)

No evidence supports the waist circumference (WC) cutoff points recommended by the National Institutes of Health to identify subjects at increased health risk within the various body mass index (BMI; calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters) categories. To examine whether the prevalence of hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and the metabolic syndrome is greater in individuals with high compared with normal WC values within the same BMI category. The subjects consisted of 14 924 adult participants of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which is a nationally representative cross-sectional survey. Subjects were grouped by BMI and WC in accordance with the National Institutes of Health cutoff points. Within the normal-weight (18.5-24.9), overweight (25.0-29.9), and class I obese (30.0-34.9) BMI categories, we computed odds ratios for hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and the metabolic syndrome and compared subjects in the high-risk (men, >102 cm; women, >88 cm) and normal-risk (men,
