0276/2017 - Relação cintura/estatura e índice de conicidade estão associados a fatores de risco cardiometabólico em idosos. Waist-to-height ratio and conicity index are associated with cardiometabolic risk factors in the elderly.
Métodos de fácil aplicação que possibilitem conhecer a magnitude dos fatores de risco cardiometabólico em idosos são importantes para efetuar o planejamento de intervenções. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar e comparar a magnitude da associação entre indicadores antropométricos com fatores de risco cardiometabólico em idosos. Trata-se de estudo transversal com 402 idosos atendidos pela Estratégia Saúde da Família no município de Viçosa-MG. Os fatores de risco considerados foram o excesso de gordura corporal, hipertensão arterial, alteração da glicemia e dos lipídeos séricos. A associação entre o índice de conicidade (IC) e relação cintura/estatura (RCE) com os fatores de risco cardiometabólico foi avaliada pela análise de regressão linear múltipla. A amostra foi composta por 60,4% de mulheres e 36,3% de idosos com excesso de peso. O índice de conicidade e a relação cintura/estatura estiveram elevados em 57,2% e 88,1% dos idosos, respectivamente. Os resultados demonstraram que o aumento da gordura corporal, da pressão arterial diastólica, dos triglicerídeos, da glicemia e a redução do HDL-colesterol estão relacionados a maiores valores dos índices antropométricos avaliados. No entanto, a relação cintura/estatura apresentou maior magnitude de associação com os fatores de risco cardiometabólico do que o índice de conicidade.

Abstract:
Methods of easy application without follow-up of the elderly that allow to know a magnitude of the risks of cardiometabolic risk are important to carry out the planning of interventions. The purpose of this study was to determine and compare a magnitude of the association between anthropometric indicators with risk of cardiometabolic risk in the elderly. This is a cross-sectional study with 402 elderly people attended by the Family Health Strategy in the city of Viçosa-MG. Risk factors for excess body fat, hypertension, blood glucose and serum lipid changes. An association between conicity index (CI) and waist-to-height ratio (WHR) with cardiometabolic risk factors was assessed by multiple linear regression analysis. Sample was composed of 60.4% of women and 36.3% of overweight elderly. The connectivity index and a waist-to-height ratio were higher in 57.2% and 88.1% in the elderly, respectively. The results showed that the increase in body fat, diastolic blood pressure, triglycerides, glycemia and reduction of HDL-cholesterol are related to higher values of anthropometric indices evaluated. However, the waist-to-height ratio presented a greater magnitude of association with the cardiometabolic risk factors than the connectivity index.
