Obesity indices and cardiometabolic diseases in postmenopausal women in Ilorin, Nigeria.
Objective: Obesity is a known risk factor for the development of cardiometabolic diseases (CMD) globally. The study focus was finding the best predictor of CMD among the four anthropometric indices of obesity studied: body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio (WHR), waist to height ratio (WHtR) and visceral adiposity index (VAI).
Method: A total of 310 postmenopausal women participated in the study. Sociodemographic data, anthropometric measurements, serum high-density lipoprotein and serum triglycerides were taken for all participants. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to detect the valid cut-off point for the VAI.
Results: The VAI cut-off point for diagnosing visceral adiposity dysfunction (VAD) in the study was >1.92. The prevalence of peripheral obesity in the study was 18.1%, while that of truncal obesity was 76.5% using the WHR and 81.9% using the WHtR. The prevalence of CMD in the study was 51.6% while that for VAD was 60.3%. The WHtR (p = 0.041) and the VAI (p < 0.001) had statistically significant associations with the presence of CMD among the participants but only the VAI was found to be a significant predictor of CMD.
Conclusion: We recommend use of the VAI for CMD screening among postmenopausal women.
期刊介绍:
Climacteric is the official journal of the International Menopause Society (IMS). As an international peer-reviewed journal it publishes original research and reviews of all aspects of aging in women.
Climacteric was founded by the IMS in 1998 and today has become a leading journal in the publication of peer-reviewed papers on the menopause, climacteric and mid-life health. Topics covered include endocrine changes, symptoms attributed to the menopause and their treatment, hormone replacement and alternative therapies, lifestyles, and the counselling and education of peri- and postmenopausal women. Climacteric, published bimonthly, also features regular invited reviews, editorials and commentaries on recent developments.
The editorial review board of Climacteric includes leading scientific and clinical experts in the field of midlife medicine and research and is headed by its Editor-in-Chief, Professor Rod Baber of Australia. He and his team of Associate Editors act independently to set a clear editorial policy, co-ordinate peer review, and ensure a rapid response to submitted papers.
