To investigate the association between self-rated hypertension (sf-H) and anthropometric indicators of body fat and abdominal fat, in elderly of São Paulo.
Data on 1894 elderly were obtained from the Survey on Aging, Health and Well-being (SABE), 2000. The anthropometric indicators used were: body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist/ hip ratio (WHR) and waist/height ratio (WHR). Binary logistic regression analysis, stratified by gender was used.
In the final model (adjusted for age, education, smoking, physical activity and diabetes), for both genders BMI had a greater statistical strength, despite the fact that, in women, it is similar to other indicators. With the exception of WHR, in men, sf-H was positively and independently associated with other indicators.
Results suggest the relevance of those indicators for an early detection of risks for the development of this disease as well as to intervene in its prevention and control.
调查圣保罗老年人自测高血压（sf-H）与身体脂肪和腹部脂肪的人体测量指标之间的关联。
数据来自2000年衰老、健康与幸福调查（SABE）中的1894名老年人。所使用的人体测量指标有：体重指数（BMI）、腰围（WC）、腰臀比（WHR）和腰高比（WHtR）。采用按性别分层的二元逻辑回归分析。
在最终模型中（对年龄、教育程度、吸烟、身体活动和糖尿病进行了调整），尽管在女性中BMI与其他指标相似，但对两性而言，BMI都具有更大的统计学强度。除腰臀比外，在男性中，自测高血压与其他指标呈正相关且独立相关。
结果表明这些指标对于早期发现该疾病发展风险以及干预其预防和控制具有重要意义。
