Health Risks Associated with High Waist Circumference: A Systematic Review

Abstract: Obesity is a health disorder characterized by an increase in body weight, measured by waist circumference. High waist circumference is linked to potential development of non-communicable diseases. A systematic review study was used to explore health risks of high waist circumference through Google Scholar, Science Direct, Pubmed, and Proquest. Findings show that high waist circumference increased the risks of developing hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, joint pain, low back … Show more

“…This explains why Asians have a higher fat percentage than Europeans despite having the same BMI. Furthermore, high waist circumference increased the risks of developing hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, joint pain, low back pain, and hyperuricemia as mentioned in the paper by Darsini et al [37].…”

“…Increased body weight and BMI are the yardsticks for generalised obesity and is signi cantly correlated to different NCDs like asthma, hypertension, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome and others as studied in women (46-49). For Indian women WC > 80 cm and WHR > 0.85 is considered as abdominal obesity and signi cantly associated with cardiovascular problems, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, pulmonary disorders, osteo-arthritis, reproductive problems and so on (50,51).Midha et al…”

“…Con el análisis de las curvas ROC, la medida del perímetro abdominal presentó mayor poder discriminativo para predecir la diabetes (AUC=0,747; p<0,001; IC: 0,624-0,870). Esto concuerda con diversos estudios Roos (16) , Yoon (17) , Darsini (18) en los cuales este indicador resultó eficaz en la predicción de riesgo. En un estudio de cohorte, con diferentes puntos de corte se evaluó el peligro de adquirir diabetes (19) y se determinó que el perímetro abdominal fue la más importante.…”
