- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Abdominal obesity in Japanese-Brazilians: which measure is best for predicting all-cause and cardiovascular mortality?(Escola Nacional de Saúde Pública Sergio Arouca, Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, 2011-10-01) Bevilacqua, Marselle Rodrigues [UNIFESP]; Gimeno, Suely Godoy Agostinho [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)This study aimed to verify which anthropometric measure of abdominal obesity was the best predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in Japanese-Brazilians. The study followed 1,581 subjects for 14 years. Socio-demographic, lifestyle, metabolic, and anthropometric data were collected. The dependent variable was vital status (alive or dead) at the end of the study, and the independent variable was presence of abdominal obesity according to different baseline measures. The mortality rate was estimated, and Poisson regression was used to obtain mortality rate ratios with abdominal obesity, adjusted simultaneously for the other variables. The mortality rate was 10.68/thousand person-years. Male gender, age > 60 years, and arterial hypertension were independent risk factors for mortality. The results indicate that prevalence of abdominal obesity was high among Japanese-Brazilians, and that waist/hip ratio was the measure with the greatest capacity to predict mortality (especially cardiovascular mortality) in this group.

- ItemSomente MetadadadosWaist-to-height gain and triiodothyronine concentrations in a cohort of socially vulnerable short-stature women: a four-year follow-up study(Inst Aeronautica & Espaco-Iae, 2016) Florencio, Telma M. M. T.; Bueno, Nassib B.; Britto, Revilane A. P.; Albuquerque, Fabiana C. A.; Lins, Isabela L. L.; Sawaya, Ana L. [UNIFESP]Background: Short stature that results from undernourishment during perinatal period is associated with an increased risk of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in adulthood, particularly in poor populations. The present study investigated changes on anthropometric and metabolic parameters of socially vulnerable women with short stature. Methods: A prospective study with 48 women (19-45 years) who were mothers of undernourished children was conducted. Twenty-five of them were short (height <= 150 cm), and 23 were not short, to serve as a control (height >159 cm). Biochemical, anthropometric and dietary intake data were collected, before and after 4 years of follow-up. A mixed within between analysis of covariance was used to assess the interaction between 'group' and 'time'. Results: Waist-to-height ratio increased only in the short stature group, with significant interaction (+0.03 +/- 0.03 in short group vs. +0.01 +/- 0.03 in control
