ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
to determine the relationship between the abdominal obesity and cardiovascular risk factors in apparently healthy subjects from Mexico City.METHODS:
a total of 186 apparently healthy men and nonpregnant women from Mexico City, were enrolled in a cross-sectional study. A detailed medical history and physical examination were performed. Abdominal obesity was defined by waist circumference > or = 80 cm for women and > or = 90 cm for men.RESULTS:
a total of 125 women (67.2 %) and 61 men (32.8 %) were enrolled. Of them, 151 (81.2 %) had insulin resistance and 130 (69.9 %) abdominal obesity. Among obese subjects 96 (46.2 %) showed metabolic syndrome. There were a high prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia (31 %) and low serum levels of HDL-cholesterol (58 %).CONCLUSIONS:
the used cut point for abdominal obesity, despite identifying a high proportion of subjects with cardiovascular risk, did not recognize a high proportion of subjects with disorders in their lipid profile.
