Abstract

Background & Objectives: Excess body fat percentage is one of the risk factors in the progression of chronic diseases. ANTHROPOMETRIC INDICES of obesity are screening tools to determine subjects at risk of cardiovascular disease all over the world. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between abdominal obesity and the early stage of ATHEROSCLEROSIS by Carotid Intima- Media Thickness (CIMT) on women.Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 100 healthy women aged 18–50 year.ANTHROPOMETRIC INDICES were measured and calculated according to standard protocol. Cut off points for waist circumference (WC), waist to hip ratio (WHR) and waist to height ratio (WHtR) were 88 cm, 0.8 and 0.5 respectively Carotid Intima- Media Thickness was determined by using non-invasive ultrasound as an indicator of early stage of ATHEROSCLEROSIS.Subjects with mean CIMT£0.8 mm and CIMT>0.8 mm were considered as "normal subjects" and "subjects at risk", respectively.Results: Average age of subjects was 30.96±8.1 and the mean of WC, WHR, WHtR and CIMT were 95±0.17, 0.87±0.08, 0.61±0.11 and 0.63±0.15, respectively. All abdominal ANTHROPOMETRIC INDICES significantly associated with mean CIMT. Waist circumference with cut off point of 88 Cm had sum of sensitivity and specificity higher than WHR and WHtR.Conclusion: Waist circumference index with cut off point of 88 cm is better than WHR and WHtR to identify subjects at high risk of ATHEROSCLEROSIS.
