          Abstract

          OBJETIVO: Associar medidas antropométricas com hipertensão arterial e desenvolver modelo matemático para estimar essa probabilidade. SUJEITOS E MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal com 3.445 adultos de ambos os sexos entre 18 e 60 anos. Avaliaram-se o índice de massa corporal (IMC), razão cintura estatura (RCE), perímetro da cintura (PC), além da idade e sexo. A pressão arterial foi avaliada e classificada segundo recomendações da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) e da Sociedade Brasileira de Hipertensão (SBH). Utilizaram-se análise de frequência de casos, correlação e regressão logística entre as variáveis, com p < 0,05. RESULTADOS: Os homens apresentaram duas vezes mais chances de hipertensão que as mulheres, e, para cada ano de vida, essa chance aumenta em 1,04 vez. As chances de hipertensão dos considerados com sobrepeso foram de quase duas vezes e, nos obesos, quadriplicavam. CONCLUSÃO: Alterações da composição corporal com o avanço da idade, principalmente nos homens, associaram-se com hipertensão, sendo sua avaliação relevante na identificação dessa doença.

          OBJECTIVE: To associate anthropometric measures with arterial hypertension and develop a mathematical model to estimate this probability. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 3,445 adults of both sexes, between 18 and 60 years of age. Body mass index (BMI), waist-to-height ratio (WHR), waist circumference (HC), in addition age and sex were assessed. Blood pressure (BP) was measured and classified according to World Health Organization (WHO) and Brazilian Society of Hypertension (SBH) recommendations, using frequency analyses, correlation and logistic regression between variables, with p < 0.05. RESULTS: Males were twice as likely as woman to have hypertension, and for each year of life, the chance of hypertension increased 1.04 times. Odds ratio of hypertension in overweight individual increased two times, and in obese subjects, four times. CONCLUSION: Changes in body composition with advancing age, especially in men, were associated with hypertension, and assessment of these changes was relevant in the identification of this disease.

          Metabolic syndrome amplifies the age-associated increases in vascular thickness and stiffness.

          We sought to evaluate whether the clustering of multiple components of the metabolic syndrome (MS) has a greater impact on these vascular parameters than individual components of MS. Intima-media thickness (IMT) and vascular stiffness have been shown to be independent predictors of adverse cardiovascular events. The MS is defined as the clustering of three or more of the cardiovascular risk factors of dysglycemia, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity. Carotid IMT and stiffness were derived via B-mode ultrasonography in 471 participants from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study on Aging, who were without clinical cardiovascular disease and not receiving antihypertensive therapy. The MS conferred a disproportionate increase in carotid IMT (+16%, p < 0.0001) and stiffness (+32%, p < 0.0001), compared with control subjects. Multiple regression models, which included age, gender, smoking, low-density lipoprotein, as well as each individual component of MS as continuous variables, showed that MS was an independent determinant of both IMT (p = 0.002) and stiffness (p = 0.012). The MS was associated with a greater prevalence of subjects whose values were in the highest quartiles of IMT, stiffness, or both. Even after taking into account each individual component of MS, the clustering of at least three of these components is independently associated with increased IMT and stiffness. This suggests that the components of MS interact to synergistically impact vascular thickness and stiffness. Future studies should examine whether the excess cardiovascular risk associated with MS is partly mediated through the amplified alterations in these vascular properties.
