Hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype in older adults: prevalence and associated factors
Abstract Background The hypertriglyceridemic waist (HW) phenotype is characterized by abdominal obesity and elevated blood triglycerides, indicating high cardiovascular risk in older adults. Objective To identify the prevalence and factors associated with HW in older adults. Method A cross-sectio...

| description | Abstract Background The hypertriglyceridemic waist (HW) phenotype is characterized by abdominal obesity and elevated blood triglycerides, indicating high cardiovascular risk in older adults. Objective To identify the prevalence and factors associated with HW in older adults. Method A cross-sectional epidemiological study was conducted with 223 older adults (mean age 71.80 ± 7.70 years) residing in Aiquara, Bahia, Brazil. HW was diagnosed by the presence of elevated waist circumference (women: ≥ 88 cm; men: ≥ 102 cm) in conjunction with hypertriglyceridemia (triglycerides ≥ 150 mg/dL). Poisson regression with robust variance was used for analysis, along with estimates of Prevalence Ratios (PR) and their respective 95% Confidence Intervals (CI). Results The prevalence of HW was 23.30%. Female sex (PR: 2.50; 95% CI: 1.35–4.63), marital status (separated or divorced) (PR: 2.30; 95% CI: 1.33-3.96), elevated non-HDL cholesterol (PR: 2.15; 95% CI: 1.37–3.49), and low HDL cholesterol (PR: 2.35; 95% CI: 1.49–3.72) presented a greater probability of HW. Additionally, low weight presented a lower probability of HW (PR: 0.17; 95% CI: 0.04–0.60). Conclusion A high prevalence of HW was identified, with positive associations with female sex, separated or divorced marital status, elevated non-HDL cholesterol, and low HDL cholesterol. Conversely, low weight showed an inverse association with HW. |
