摘要

背景肥胖是一种复杂的多因素疾病标志物,已成为心血管健康的主要威胁。我们试图评估在加纳门诊专科诊所就诊的患者中肥胖和其他心脏代谢危险因素的相关性。方法对加纳库马西精确专科诊所的395例患者进行前瞻性横断面研究。采用标准化的调查问卷获取患者的人口学、人体测量学和临床资料。采用Fisher在95%置信区间的统计显著性精确检验来评价分类变量之间的相关性。采用Pearson相关分析肥胖指数与心血管疾病危险因素的相关性。结果在395名参与者中,男性187人,女性208人。研究参与者的平均(±标准差)年龄为59.29(±13.93);超过一半的参与者年龄在50岁到69岁之间。男性参与者的平均BMI显著低于女性参与者的平均BMI (28.18 kg/m2 vs 31.16 kg/m2, p值< 0.0001)。性别与体重类别显著相关(P = 0.0144)。女性肥胖率(49.0%)高于男性(35.8%)。Pearson相关分析也显示肥胖与收缩压升高(r = 0.1568, p值= 0.0018)和舒张压升高(r = 0.2570, p值< 0.0001)呈正相关。结论肥胖与女性、年龄、收缩压升高、舒张压升高有显著相关性。强烈建议努力加强预防措施,以减少加纳日益流行的肥胖症。

The correlation between obesity and other cardiovascular disease risk factors among adult patients attending a specialist clinic in Kumasi. Ghana
Background

Obesity is a complex and multifactorial disease marker, which has become a major threat to cardiovascular health. We sought to assess the correlation of obesity and other cardio-metabolic risk factors in patients seen at the outpatient specialist clinic in Ghana.

Methods

A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 395 patients at Precise Specialist Clinic in Kumasi, Ghana. A standardized questionnaire was used to obtain demographic, anthropometric and clinical data of patients. Fisher's exact test for statistical significance at a 95% confidence interval was used to evaluate associations between categorical variables. The associations between obesity indices and cardiovascular disease risk factors were analyzed by Pearson's correlation.

Results

Of the 395 participants, 187 were males and 208 were females. The mean (± standard deviation) age of study participants was 59.29 (± 13.93); more than half of the participants were between 50 and 69 years. The mean BMI of male participants was significantly lower than the mean BMI of female participants (28.18 kg/m2 vs 31.16 kg/m2, P-value < 0.0001). Gender was significantly associated with the weight categories (P = 0.0144). Obesity was seen more in females (49.0%) than in males (35.8%). The Pearson correlation analysis also showed a significant positive correlation between obesity, increasing systolic blood pressure (r = 0.1568, P-value = 0.0018) and increasing diastolic blood pressure (r = 0.2570, P-value < 0.0001).

Conclusions

Obesity was found to be significantly associated with female gender, increasing age, increasing systolic blood pressure, and increasing diastolic blood pressure. Efforts to step-up preventive measures to reduce the increasing prevalence of obesity in Ghana are highly recommended.
