“…Obesity is a major risk factor for hypertension, as well as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancers, and musculoskeletal disorders (WHO, 2008;Nguyen and Lau, 2012). Measures of central obesity predict metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality better than body mass index (BMI) (Visscher et al, 2001;Goh et al, 2014).…”

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally, and is now prevalent in low-income and middleincome countries. This study sets out to determine the prevalence of obesity as well as its predictors in rural South-Western Nigeria. Cross-sectional descriptive survey of 416 participants aged 20 to 70 years in two rural communities in Remo North Local Government area of Ogun State, Nigeria was taken. Relevant clinical and demographic parameters were obtained. Participants were screened for generalized and central obesity, using standard protocol. The prevalence of overweight and generalized obesity was 21.4 and 10.5%, respectively in all the participants. Females had a higher frequency of generalized obesity than the males (p<0.001). Central obesity was significantly more prevalent among the female participants with three different criteria (p≤0.001). More participants were classified as centrally obese using waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) or waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) than waist circumference (WC). Predictors of central obesity were age, female gender, alcohol and cigarette smoking. The prevalence of obesity is high in rural communities of South-Western Nigeria. Compared to men, the chances of developing central obesity (defined as increased WC) increased by 11-fold among the women. Targeted aggressive healthy lifestyle intervention becomes necessary to prevent future cardiovascular disease.

Objective: To test the hypothesis that the GH receptor (GHR) exon 3 deleted (d3)/full-length (fl) polymorphism influences anthropometry and body composition in the general population. Design and setting: The Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) reference study is a cross-sectional population-based study, randomly selected from a population registry. A subgroup of the population-based Malmö Diet and Cancer study (MDC-CC) was used as a replication cohort. Methods: The SOS reference study comprises 1135 subjects (46.2% men), with an average age of 49.5 years. The MDC-CC includes 5451 successfully genotyped subjects (41.5% men), with an average age of 57.5 years. GHR d3/fl genotypes were determined using TagSNP rs6873545. Linear regression analyses were used to test for genotype-phenotype associations. Results: In the SOS reference study, subjects homozygous for the d3-GHR weighed w4 kg more (PZ0.011), and had larger waist-to-hip ratio (WHR, PZ0.036), larger waist circumference (PZ0.016), and more fat-free mass estimated from total body potassium (PZ0.026) than grouped fl/d3 and fl/fl subjects (d3-recessive genetic model). The association with WHR was replicated in the MDC-CC (PZ0.002), but not those with other anthropometric traits. Conclusions: In this population-based study, the GHR d3/fl polymorphism was found to be of functional relevance and associated with central adiposity, such that subjects homozygous for the d3-GHR showed an increased abdominal obesity.

Among the risk factors of years of life loss, with correction for disability, the leading are arterial hypertension, smoking, high body mass index. results of large prospective studies confirm the relation of excessive body mass with the increase of cardiovascular risk. relative risk of cardiovascular disorders (CVd) in obese is comparable to the total impact of BP raise by 20 mmHg. However, most of current CV risk stratification models do not include obesity as one of the risk factors. There are several phenotypes of obesity. Presence of any leads to increased cardiovascular and diabetes (type 2, dM) risk. Metabolically healthy obesity comparing to the situation of comorbid obesity with metabolic syndrome is associated with lower dM risk, but cardiovascular risk is high equally in both obesity phenotypes. Hence, metabolically healthy obesity is not "benign" condition and demands the actions from us, interventions for loss of weight and strict control of modifiable risk factors. Russ
