- W1565176945 abstract "Abstract Background : Waist circumference (WC) is a useful surrogate marker of abdominal adiposity and a risk factor of cardiovascular disease and hypertension. Asians have higher abdominal fat at a lower level of body mass index (BMI). Previous studies showed that WC was the best measure and correlate of abdominal fat and general adiposity, respectively, among the Bengalee people of Eastern India including the present sample. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical usefulness of waist circumference and its appropriate cut-off in identifying obesity and hypertension. Methods: Adult male slum dwellers aged between 18 and 60 years were included in the study. Height, weight, skinfolds, waist circumference, systolic- (SBP) and diastolic blood pressures (DBP) were measured. Body mass index (BMI) and percent body fat (PBF) were also calculated. Obesity was defined as >25% of body fat. Mean (+ SD) and range statistics were used to describe the variables. WC values were divided into four categories, viz. 80.9cm could be accepted as the best cut-off point for WC to identify obesity. Participants with a WC of 80-84.9 cm were around three times more likely to have HT(p 85.0 cm when compared to lower WC categories. The odds ratio significantly increased for WCs at or above 80cm. Therefore the measurement of WC could be used to identify general obesity and be used as a screening tool for HT risk factors in Bengalee urban slum dwelling men. The WC cut off to define obesity and identifying hypertension was around 81cm" @default.
