Abstract

Background: BMI has been evaluated as an old criterion to evaluate obesity in individuals, but it does not assess abdominal obesity and lean mass. We aimed to evaluate the possible relationship of new anthropometric indices (namely, a body shape index (ABSI), the body roundness index (BRI), the visceral adiposity index (VAI), the visceral fat area (VFA), and waist-hip ratio (WHR)), with one of the known critical factors of atherosclerosis, arterial stiffness.

Methods: Overall 5921 individuals were enrolled and were divided into four groups according to BMI. Novel anthropometric parameters including, ABSI, BRI, VAI, VFA, and WHR were calculated. The carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) was used to evaluate arterial stiffness. Multiple regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between cf-PWV and innovative Anthropometric indices.

Results: This study population consisted of 3109 women and 2812 males. In men with overweight, cf-PWV was significantly related to BMI, ABSI, BRI, WC, VAI, VFA, and WHR. However, among men with obesity, cf-PWV was associated with BRI, VAI, and VFA. Among women with overweight, cf-PWV was also related to all mentioned indices except ABSI; although, cf-PWV was only associated with VFA and WHR in women with obesity.

Conclusion: Our results showed that VFA in women and VAI in men are strongly related to arterial stiffness and can be used to identify predictors of vascular disease or organic vascular dysfunction.

波斯成年人动脉硬度的评价及其与创新人体测量指标的关系。

背景:BMI被认为是评估个体肥胖的老标准，但它不能评估腹部肥胖和瘦质量。我们的目的是评估新的人体测量指标(即体型指数(ABSI)、身体圆度指数(BRI)、内脏脂肪指数(VAI)、内脏脂肪面积(VFA)和腰臀比(WHR))与动脉粥样硬化的已知关键因素之一——动脉硬度之间的可能关系。方法:共纳入5921例受试者，根据BMI分为4组。计算了新的人体测量参数，包括ABSI, BRI, VAI, VFA和WHR。颈-股脉波速度(cf-PWV)评估动脉僵硬度。采用多元回归分析评估cf-PWV与创新人体测量指标之间的关系。结果:该研究人群包括3109名女性和2812名男性。在超重男性中，cf-PWV与BMI、ABSI、BRI、WC、VAI、VFA和WHR显著相关。然而，在肥胖男性中，cf-PWV与BRI、VAI和VFA相关。在超重女性中，除ABSI外，cf-PWV与上述所有指标均相关;然而，在肥胖女性中，cf-PWV仅与VFA和WHR相关。结论:我们的研究结果表明，女性的VFA和男性的VAI与动脉僵硬密切相关，可用于识别血管疾病或器质性血管功能障碍的预测因素。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Hypertension is a peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that provides a forum for clinicians and basic scientists interested in blood pressure regulation and pathophysiology, as well as treatment and prevention of hypertension. The journal publishes original research articles, review articles, and clinical studies on the etiology and risk factors of hypertension, with a special focus on vascular biology, epidemiology, pediatric hypertension, and hypertensive nephropathy.
