Why the study?
Is the hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype associated with metabolic disorders and visceral fat in adults?
Population
191 adults of both sexes
Comparison
Hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype vs Absence of HTW phenotype
Design
Cross-sectional
Key result
The hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype was associated with metabolic alterations and excess visceral adipose tissue, with 82% of affected individuals having 3 or more cardiovascular risk factors.

Hypertriglyceridemic waist may flag clustered cardiometabolic risks; leaves open its added value for risk stratification.

Is the hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype associated with metabolic disorders and visceral fat in adults?
The hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype is strongly associated with metabolic alterations and excess visceral adipose tissue, suggesting its utility as a simple clinical marker for cardiovascular risk.
Oliveira et al. (2014) conducted a cross-sectional in Metabolic disorders and visceral fat (n=191). Hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTW) phenotype vs. Absence of HTW phenotype was evaluated on Metabolic alterations, visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and visceral/subcutaneous fat index. The hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype was associated with metabolic alterations and excess visceral adipose tissue, with 82% of affected individuals having 3 or more cardiovascular risk factors.
