The body composition in myocardial infarction males. Novel findings in both the association and relationship between anthropometric indicators of risk

espanolObjetivo: el objetivo de este estudio era realizar un analisis antropometrico, incluyendo indicadores comunes, el somatotipo y la grasa corporal en varones con infarto de miocardio.Metodo: estudio transversal en 116 varones de 30 a 75 anos de edad. Resultados: peso (81,6±13,2 kg); altura (169,4±7,1 cm); circunferencia de cintura (CC) (98,3±18,5 cm); circunferencia umbilical (102,4 ±21,8); circunferencia de cadera (99,3±13,6 cm); indice de masa corporal (IMC) (28,4±4 kg/m2); indice cintura-cadera (ICCad) (0,99±0,1, CI: 0,97-1)); indice cintura-talla (ICT) (0,58±0,1, CI: 0,56-0,60); grasa corporal (27,4%±4,5); endomorfia (4,6±1,3); mesomorfia (5,7±1,2); ectomorfia (0,8±0,8); indice de conicidad (1,30±0,17). Correlaciones: IMC: grasa corporal (0,70), cintura (0,70), ICCad (0,48), ICT (0,72), endomorfia (0,82), mesomorfia (0,81), ectomorfia (-0,81); ICCad: grasa corporal (0,38), cintura (0,69), endomorfia (0,39), mesomorfia (0,38); ICT: grasa corporal (0,50), cintura (0,96), endomorfia (0,58), mesomorfia (0,56), ectomorfia (-0,56); conicidad: cintura (0,85), ICCad (0,58), ICT (0,85), endomorfia (0,45). Prevalencia: ICT (92%), ICCad ≥0,95 (87%), indice de conicidad (86,7%), ICCad ≥1 (64%), grasa corporal ≥25 (69,4%), IMC ≥25-29,9 (45,6%), IMC ≥30 (37%), endomorfia ≥4,5 (47,2%), mesomorfia ≥5,6 (50%), ectomorfia ≤1,1 (71%).Conclusiones: los varones con infarto de miocardio presentan un perfil antropometrico de alto riesgo. El somatotipo es mesomorfo endomorfico. Las medidas de cintura, cadera y altura muestran diferente implicacion en la composicion corporal. La obesidad con criterio de indice de masa corporal es el indicador con mas debil asociacion, y no discrimina entre los componentes corporales. El indice cintura-cadera presenta alta prevalencia pero una debil relacion con la composicion corporal de riesgo. El indice cintura-talla refleja una distribucion del volumen corporal y presenta las mejores correlaciones con los componentes corporales de riesgo, siendo el indice mas prevalente y adecuado para explicar el riesgo biologico asociado al infarto de miocardio. EnglishObjective: The aim of this study was to realize an anthropometric analysis including common indicators, somatotype rating and body fatness (BF) in males with myocardial infarction (MI)Methods: Cross-sectional study of 116 males aged 30-75 years. Results: Weight (81.6±13.2 kg); height (169.4±7.1 cm); waist circumference (WC) (98.3±18.5 cm); umbilical circumference (102.4 ±21.8); hip circumference (99.3±13.6 cm); body mass index (BMI) (28.4±4 kg/m2); waist-hip ratio (WHR) (0.99±0.1, CI: 0.97-1)); waist-height ratio (WHtR) (0.58±0.1, CI: 0.56-0.60); BF (27.4% 4.5); endomorphy (4.6±1.3); mesomorphy (5.7±1.2); ectomorphy (0.8±0.8); conicity index (1.30±0.17). Correlations: BMI: BF (0.70), WC (0.70), WHR (0.48), WHtR (0.72), endomorphy (0.82), mesomorphy (0.81), ectomorphy (-0.81); WHR: BF (0.38), WC (0.69), endomorphy (0.39), mesomorphy (0.38); WHtR: BF (0.50), WC (0.96), endomorphy (0.58), mesomorphy (0.56), ectomorphy (-0.56); conicity index: WC (0.85), WHR (0.58), WHtR (0.85), endomorphy (0.45). Prevalence: WHtR (92%), WHR ≥0.95 (87%), conicity index (86.7%), WHR ≥1 (64%), BF ≥25 (69.4%), BMI ≥25-29.9 (45.6%), BMI ≥30 (37%), endomorphy ≥4.5 (47.2%), mesomorphy ≥5.6 (50%), ectomorphy ≤1.1 (71%).Conclusions: MI males present a high-risk anthropometric profile. The somatotype rating is endomorphic-mesomorph. Waist, hip and height measurements show different involvement on the body composition. BMI-defined obesity appears to be the indicator with the more weak association and it does not discriminate between body components. WHR presents high prevalence but a weak relationship with the body composition of risk. WHtR reflects body volume distribution and the best correlations with the risk bodily components, actually being the most prevalent and accurate index to explain the biological risk associated to MI.
