“…Lemos-Santos et al 12 (2004) tested the hypothesis that the waist circumference could predict the lipid profile of a population male blood-donors, independently of the explanatory power of total fat, evaluated by BMI and fat percentage. A high correlation between BMI and waist circumference was observed (r = 0.90 and 0.83, for the younger and older, respectively).…”

“…Many studies conducted in Caucasian populations show the utility of this indicator as a predictor of visceral fat, especially because it is a more easily obtainable measurement with lower operating cost than BMI 7,11 . On the other hand, some studies have shown that, in the case of the Brazilian population, waist circumference may not be a good predictor of fat location, due to its high correlation with total fat 12,13 . The objective of this investigation was to analyze the association between total fat (BMI) and body fat distribution (waist circumference) anthropometric markers and hypertension, after adjustment for potential confounding factors, and define the best cutoff point.…”

“…Recentemente, foi sugerido que a RCQ define melhor indivíduos de risco para doença cardiovascular (9)(10)(11). Outros autores consideram que a medida da cintura é melhor preditor de obesidade, dislipidemia e risco cardiovascular (4,(12)(13)(14). Deve também ser considerado que o padrão de distribuição da gordura pode variar de acordo com os grupos étnicos, e tem sido recomendado que essas medidas sejam padronizadas para as diversas etnias (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21).…”
