Waist circumference measures predict the cardiovascular risk parameter
Niraj Khatri Sapkota
Chitwan Medical College, Nepal
Background
: Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure are two variables of Blood pressure that can be precisely measured
if right precaution be taken and hence provides an attention to understand the cardiovascular risk parameters such
as atheresclerosis,Ischaemic Heart disease, Strokes that leads to premature death. Waist circumference is considered
to be one of the important measurements that indicate deposition of fat bulk around waist region that is directly
associated with insulin resistant, Hypertension other Cardiac-metabolic risk.
Aims
: Hence, this study aims to find waist circumference (WC) measurement strongly predicts hypertension one of
the cardiovascular risk.
Methods
: A community based cross sectional study was conducted by incorporating total of substantial number
(more than 100) of subjects in the data who were male only older than 25 years, non smokers, non alcoholic, didn’t
have history of taking any type of medication, non vegetarian with normal physical activity and were residents in the
urban and rural areas throughout, were included in the present study. Waist circumference referenced to umbilicus
measured by non tensile and non flexible measuring tape and at the mean time height and weight were also recorded
by standard device in order to calculate BMI and blood pressure was measured by Aneroid sphygmomanometer of the
respective subject subsequently data analysis was made by using SPSS to compare the BMI and Waist circumference
relationship with blood Pressure independently to identify their relationship with hypertension.
Results
: Keeping few exceptional aside, Both BMI and Waist Circumference exhibited positive association with
blood pressure, while the waist circumference was more strongly associated with hiking of blood pressure and also
BMI is not always the relating parametric tool to metabolic disease as was conventionally considered.
Conclusion
: The result and analytical data showed that (P<0.05) there is significant strong correlation of blood
pressure with waist circumference comparatively more than BMI thus WC alone can significantly predict the
co-morbidity therefore this study approach to suggest and hints to follow as a routine task for measuring Waist
circumference while taking inference for diagnosing hypertension risk at least in male.
