ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
/Aim:
The hypertriglyceridaemic waist (HTGW) phenotype has been described and suggested in general population as a cardiovascular risk marker. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the HTGW phenotype as a marker related to HUC and MetS in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
This was a cross-sectional study was designed in 250 RA Mexicans patients. The HTGW phenotype was defined as elevated waist circumference and elevated triglyceride concentration. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between the HTGW phenotype, HUC and MetS in its traditional NCEP/ATPIII versions and modified (HTGWm and MetSm).RESULTS:
The prevalence of HTGW and HTGWm it was 20.4% and 32%, respectively. All patients with HTGW presented MetS (Pâ¯<â¯0.001), and in a multivariate model, the HTGW phenotype was the marker most closely related to HUC in comparison to components of MetS.CONCLUSION:
The HTGW may represent a marker for screening of cardiometabolic risk in RA patients, so in clinical practice can be implemented as a low-cost marker in the evaluation of the patient regardless of clinical characteristics of disease.Palavras-chave
