Prevalence of Abdominal Obesity in the Aboriginal and non- Aboriginal population of Yakutsk Aged 60 and Older
Abstract
Aim: to study the prevalence of abdominal obesity among the elderly and senile (including long-lived people) population of the city of Yakutsk, and to determine waist circumference cutoff values associated with the components of the metabolic syndrome (MS) in the Yakut and non-aboriginal population aged ≥60 years.
Material and methods: The study of the prevalence of abdominal obesity (AO) was done based on representative sample comprising 485 citizens (210 males and 275 females), aged 60 or over.
Results: Mean values of waist circumference (WC) in Yakuts were smaller (90.5 sm.), than in the non-aboriginal population (94.1 sm.). Prevalence of AO in the total study population was 42.9% (95% CI 38.5–47.4) using NCEP АТР III (2001) criteria, or 65.2% (95% CI 60.8 69.3) using RSC (2009) criteria. All WC cutoff values used were associated with less prevalence of AO in the aboriginal population, compared to non-aboriginal population: 32.9% in Yakuts and 52.4% in non-aboriginal patients using WC cutoff value of ≥102/88 sm., and 58.2% and 71.8%, respectively, using WC cutoff value of ≥94/80. Mean WC cutoff points associated with the 5 components of the metabolic syndrome (arterial hypertension (AH), hypertriglyceridemia (hTG), low HDL cholesterol (hypo-HDL-C), fasting hyperglycemia (5.6 mmol/L)) were 83.0 sm. in aboriginal males, 92.6 sm. in aboriginal females, 97.1 sm. in non-aboriginal males, and 93.1 sm. in non-aboriginal females.
