Self-reported body silhouette is an anthropometric instrument that has been utilized as a screening tool for underweight, overweight, obesity, and other abnormal anthropometric variables. Herein, we analyzed the risk associated with the self-reported body silhouette in the scope of dyslipidemias, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia, and hypertension.
Adult participants of the Health Workers Cohort Study enrolled between March 2004 and April 2006 were included. Then, risk analysis was performed considering dyslipidemias as serum triglycerides, high total cholesterol, high LDL-C, low HDL-C, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia, and hypertension.
A total of 2,297 males and 5,003 females were analyzed. The median ages of the studied population was 39 (30-49) and 41 (31-50) years for males and females, respectively. Overall, there is a stepwise increase in the risk of presenting dyslipidemias, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia, and hypertension as the self-reported body silhouette number increases, this tendency was observed in both males and females.
Self-reported body silhouette is a useful risk assessment tool for dyslipidemias, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia, and hypertension in Mexican adults. Applications of questioners containing this silhouette might be considered a valuable public health instrument due to their low cost, relative simplicity, and absence of specialized equipment, training, or respondent knowledge.
自我报告的体型是一种人体测量学工具，已被用作衡量消瘦、超重、肥胖和其他异常人体测量变量的筛查工具。在此，我们分析了自我报告体型与血脂异常、高血糖、高尿酸血症和高血压相关的风险。
本研究纳入了 2004 年 3 月至 2006 年 4 月期间参加卫生工作者队列研究的成年参与者。然后，我们考虑了血脂异常（血清甘油三酯、总胆固醇高、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇高、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇低）、高血糖、高尿酸血症和高血压，对风险进行了分析。
共分析了 2297 名男性和 5003 名女性。研究人群的中位年龄分别为男性 39（30-49）岁和女性 41（31-50）岁。总体而言，随着自我报告体型数量的增加，出现血脂异常、高血糖、高尿酸血症和高血压的风险呈逐步增加趋势，这种趋势在男性和女性中均观察到。
自我报告体型是评估墨西哥成年人血脂异常、高血糖、高尿酸血症和高血压风险的有用工具。由于成本低、相对简单且不需要专门的设备、培训或受访者知识，因此包含该体型的问卷应用可能被视为一种有价值的公共卫生工具。
