We carried out a clinical cross-sectional study on 728 overweight and obese women aged 20-60 years during July 2005-May 2006 in Sistan and Baluchestan, Islamic Republic of Iran. Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) showed significant correlation with total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. After adjustment for age and BMI, this was also true for WC with TC and TG. There was no such correlation between waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and lipid profile. Hence, WC was a better anthropometric index of fat location than WHR to estimate lipid profile in overweight and obese adult women.
我们在 2005 年 7 月至 2006 年 5 月期间对伊朗锡斯坦和俾路支省的 728 名 20-60 岁超重和肥胖女性进行了一项临床横断面研究。体重指数（BMI）和腰围（WC）与总胆固醇（TC）、甘油三酯（TG）和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇呈显著相关性。在调整年龄和 BMI 后，WC 与 TC 和 TG 之间也存在这种相关性。腰臀比（WHR）与血脂谱之间没有这种相关性。因此，WC 是估计超重和肥胖成年女性血脂谱的更好的身体脂肪位置的人体测量学指标，优于 WHR。
