“…Abdominal obesity assessed by waist circumference (WC) is related to a higher risk of mortality (Meller et al, 2014). This reflects the accumulation of visceral fat directly related to the genesis of the metabolic syndrome by promoting insulin resistance, glucose intolerance and a chronic inflammatory state.…”

ABSTRACT. The study aimed to evaluate the association of the components of body composition (body mass index -BMI, waist circumference, basal metabolism, body fat percentage, fat weight, fat free percentage and lean weight) with gender, age, income and schooling in patients with hepatic steatosis. Descriptive and survey study, with quantitative analytical approach. Data were collected through ultrasound and bioimpedance tests. The significance was p < 0.05 and software used was SPSS 22.0. A sample of 114 patients with hepatic steatosis, 70.1% were women. The mean age was 46.2, only 11.4% had normal BMI. The mean BMI was 30.4, waist circumference 100.2 cm, fat percentage 37.97%, basal metabolism 1451.9 kcal, fat weight 31.0 kg. Statistical differences in several variables in relation to gender and age were found. However, no statistically significant differences were found regarding schooling and income. Changes in body composition were obvious in patients with hepatic steatosis.Keywords: fatty liver, social indicators, ultrasonography, anthropometry, obesity.Composição corpórea e fatores socioeconômicos em pacientes portadores de esteatose hepática RESUMO. O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a associação dos componentes da composição corporal (índice de massa corporal -IMC, circunferência abdominal, metabolismo basal, percentual de gordura, peso gordo, percentual livre de gorduras e peso magro) com gênero, idade, renda e escolaridade em pacientes com esteatose hepática. Estudo descritivo tipo survey, com abordagem analítica quantitativa. Os dados foram coletados através de exames de ultrassonografia e bioimpedância. A significância foi p < 0,05 e o software usado SPSS 22.0. Uma amostra de 114 pacientes com esteatose hepática, 70,1% de mulheres. A média de idade foi 46,2 apenas 11,4% tinham IMC normal. As médias de IMC foram: 30,4, circunferência abdominal: 100,2 cm, percentual de gordura: 37,97%, metabolismo basal: 1451,9 Kcal, peso gordo 31,0 kg. Foram encontradas diferenças estatísticas em diversas variáveis em relação ao gênero e idade. Entretanto, não foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significantes a respeito da escolaridade e da renda. Mudanças da composição corporal foram óbvias em pacientes com esteatose hepática.Palavras-chave: fígado gorduroso, indicadores sociais, ultrassonografia, antropometria, obesidade.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of the ratio between the waist circumference and the height in the identification of health risk compared with the correlation matrix between the anthropometric parameters body mass index and waist circumference. METHODS: A population-based study presenting a transversal cut in a representative sample of the Brazilian adult and older population. The combination of the body mass index with the waist circumference resulted in health risk categories, and the cutoff points of the ratio between the waist circumference and the height as anthropometric indicator were used for classification of low and increased risk. Poisson regression was used to verify the association of systemic arterial hypertension with the health risk categories. RESULTS: The results showed 26% of adult men, 10.4% of adult women and more than 30% of the older adults of both genders classified as without risk by the combination matrix between body mass index and waist circumference presented a ratio between the waist circumference and height that showed increased risk. All risk categories continued to be associated with hypertension after control for confounding factors, being almost two times higher for adults with moderate and high risk according to both methods. When the waist-to-height ratio was used as a risk indicator, the prevalence of hypertension ratios for the older adults was 1.37 (95%CI 1.16–1.63) and 1.35 (95%CI 1.12–1.62) for men and women, respectively, being these values close to the combination matrix body mass index and waist circumference. CONCLUSIONS: The waist-to-height ratio identified more individuals at early health risk than the combination matrix between the body mass index and the waist circumference and showed comparable ability to identify health risk, regardless of gender and age, regarding the prevalence ratios for systemic arterial hypertension.

“…MELLER et al, (2006) concluíram em estudo que a elevada prevalência de mulheres com IMC elevado, implica na necessidade de políticas públicas de saúde que visem não somente a prevenção e o tratamento do excesso de peso, mas também da obesidade abdominal, a fim de promover o estado nutricional adequado e reduzir as prevalências das doenças associadas. Neste estudo, todos os voluntários apresentaram CA maior que 97 cm, que associado aos elevados valores de IMC observados, confere alto risco a problema de saúde associados a essa parcela da população.…”
