“…Nevertheless, in the upcoming second phase of the project, we are considering this variable as a new inclusion in our research. In conclusion, our results highlight the responsibility of clinicians for the early detection of subjects with IFG, especially in populations with high prevalence of risk factors such as obesity, physical inactivity and metabolic syndrome [51][52][53]. IFG prevalence in our population is similar to worldwide reports, in contrast to the low prevalence previously reported in Latin America in past decades.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors associated with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in adult individuals from Maracaibo city, Venezuela. Materials and methods:2230 patients from the Maracaibo Metabolic Syndrome Prevalence Study were selected. IFG was defined according to the 2016 ADA criteria. A multiple logistic regression model was constructed in order to assess risk factors associated with IFG. Results:In the general population, the prevalence of IFG was 19.5% (n=435), with 46.4% (n=202) being women and 53.6% (n=233) being men, p=0.004. The main risk factors associated with IFG were age (≥60 years: OR=2.31; CI 95%=1.23-4.35; p<0.01), alcohol consumption, abdominal obesity and insulin resistance. After evaluating individuals with IFG exclusively, the major risk factor was the presence of elevated high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein levels (OR=2.03; CI 95%=1.13-3.67; p<0.02). Conclusions:In Maracaibo the prevalence of IFG is similar to that of international reports. It is associated with a variety of risk factors, especially abdominal obesity, insulin resistance and low-grade inflammation, demonstrating the close link between adiposopathy and alterations in glucose metabolism.

To determine the predictive power of various anthropometric indices for the identification of dysglycemic states in Maracaibo, Venezuela. A cross-sectional study with randomized, multi-staged sampling was realized in 2230 adult subjects of both genders who had their body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist-height ratio (WHR) determined. Diagnoses of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) were made following ADA 2015 criteria. ROC curves were used to evaluate the predictive power of each anthropometric parameter. Area under the curve (AUC) values were compared through Delong's test. Of the total 2230 individuals (52.6 % females), 8.4 % were found to have DM2, and 19.5 % had IFG. Anthropometric parameters displayed greater predictive power regarding newly diagnosed diabetics, where WHR was the most important predictor in both females (AUC = 0.808; CI 95 % 0.715-0.900. Sensitivity: 82.8 %; specificity: 76.2 %) and males (AUC = 0.809; CI 95 % 0.736-0.882. Sensitivity: 78.6 %; specificity: 68.1 %), although all three parameters appeared to have comparable predictive power in this subset. In previously diagnosed diabetic subjects, WHR was superior to both WC and BMI in females, and WHR and WC were both superior to BMI in males. Lower predictive values were found for IFG in both genders. Accumulation of various altered anthropometric measurements was associated with increased odds ratios for both newly and previously diagnosed DM2. The predictive power of anthropometric measurements was greater for DM2 than IFG. We suggest assessment of as many available parameters as possible in the clinical setting.

“…Ahora bien, se deduce que gran parte de los Policías presentan una elevada frecuencia de dislipidemias en los sujetos con los indicadores adiposos elevados, lo cual se convierte en un factor de riesgo que condiciona a elevar la tendencia de esta poblac ión a desarrollar ECV entre otras patologías que, han tenido una tendencia creciente durante los últimos años, ubicándolas como uno de los principales problemas de salud pública a nivel mundial 2 , con una gran cantidad de afectados a nivel regional y local [29][30][31] , por lo que la identificación de estos factores de riesgo, son piedra angular en la prevención del desarrollo de enfermedades cardiometabólicas en pacientes cuya predisposición ya es alta 8 .…”

Introducción: La composición corporal es uno de los elementos clave en el desarrollo de la labor operacional del funcionario policial, que, con un elevado porcentaje de adiposidad corporal, resultarían muy difícil su desempeño, asimismo, los individuos con un exceso de masa grasa exhiben comúnmente un perfil lipídico alterado denominado dislipidemia aterogénica, estando ambos parámetros asociados al origen de enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV). En éste estudio, se investiga la prevalencia de adiposidad corporal e irregularidades lipídicas y la relación entre estos como factores de riesgo asociados con las ECV en un grupo de funcionarios de la Policía Nacional Bolivariana.Material y Métodos: La muestra la conformaron 45 hombres y 20 mujeres. Se calculó el Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) y el porcentaje de grasa (%GC) como indicadores adiposos y el perfil lipídico como indicadores bioquímicos. Resultados: Ambos grupos se ubicaron en categorías superiores a las recomendadas, obteniendo los hombres y mujeres un IMC y un %GC de 29,7 y 27,6% y 25,6 y 33,4%, ambos con diferencias significativas. De la misma forma, las mujeres superaron el límite superior de triglicéridos con 151,8 mg/dL, y estando cerca del límite superior del colesterol y a su vez, obtuvieron valores inferiores del HDL-c (40,5 mg/dL). Un porcentaje importante de ambos grupos presentó alteración en los indicadores bioquímicos a excepción del c-LDL. El colesterol y los triglicéridos tuvieron moderada correlación con el IMC en las mujeres, y moderadas, bajas y correlaciones inversas entre los parámetros de perfil lipídico con el IMC y el %GC en los hombres. Conclusiones: Se concluye que un importante porcentaje de funcionarios, muestran alta adiposidad, y ésta, relacionada con alteraciones en los lípidos, puede incrementar el riesgo para el desarrollo de ECV.
