Cardiovascular diseases constitute one class of common contributors to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Prevalence of overweight and obesity has dramatically increased in developing countries and is related to cardiovascular risk factors. Anthropometric parameters have the advantages in daily clinical practice of being a simple to measure tool with good reproducibility, especially in a developing country like India. Aim of this study is to correlate some anthropometric variables with lipid parameters in healthy subjects and to assess the anthropometric variable which best reflects the altered lipid profile.
A hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted after the Institutional Ethical Committee Clearance. Included participants (1187) were subjected to anthropometric measurements such as height, weight, waist circumference (WC), and hip circumference using standard procedures on the same morning of the day, as the blood sample was collected after overnight fast and estimated for fasting blood sugar and lipid profile.
There is a weak correlation between body mass index (BMI) and lipid parameters. Among all the anthropometric variables studied, WC is best correlated to lipid parameters. The mean values of lipid parameters were not significantly different in BMI <25 and BMI ≥25 groups.
WC remains one of the simple and reliable variables which best reflects the lipid profile. In a developing country like India, where measurement of cardiovascular risk factors such as body fat saturation and lipid profile remains difficult in the rural population, WC may be used as an effective tool, without being used as a substitute.
心血管疾病是全球发病和死亡的一类常见原因。发展中国家超重和肥胖的患病率急剧上升，且与心血管危险因素相关。人体测量参数在日常临床实践中具有优势，是一种易于测量且重复性好的工具，尤其在像印度这样的发展中国家。本研究的目的是将一些人体测量变量与健康受试者的血脂参数相关联，并评估最能反映血脂谱改变的人体测量变量。
在获得机构伦理委员会批准后进行了一项基于医院的横断面研究。纳入的参与者（1187名）在同一天上午使用标准程序进行人体测量，如身高、体重、腰围（WC）和臀围，因为在空腹过夜后采集血样并检测空腹血糖和血脂谱。
体重指数（BMI）与血脂参数之间存在弱相关性。在所研究的所有人体测量变量中，WC与血脂参数的相关性最佳。BMI<25和BMI≥25组的血脂参数平均值无显著差异。
WC仍然是最能反映血脂谱的简单可靠变量之一。在像印度这样的发展中国家，农村人口中测量体脂饱和度和血脂谱等心血管危险因素仍然困难，WC可作为一种有效工具，但不能替代其他检测。
