Introduction: The prevalence of obesity in the world is associated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Since the most appropriate anthropometric indicators determining obesity to estimate CVD, especially in women, are not well known, the present study was conducted with aim to investigate the association of anthropometric indicators with cardiovascular risk factors in working women.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2024 on 46 working women with age range of 28-53 years in Kashmar city. Anthropometric indicators including height, weight, BMI, Waist Circumference (WC), Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR) and Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) were measured. Triglyceride (Tg), total cholesterol (Tcho), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) values was measured as fasting through blood sampling in order to estimate cardiovascular risk factors including plasma atherogenic index (AIP), Castelli risk index I and II (CRI-I, CRI-II) and the atherogenic coefficient (AC). Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 25) and Pearson's correlation coefficient test. P<0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The results of Pearson's correlation test to evaluate the relationship between anthropometric indicators and cardiovascular risk factors showed that there was a significant positive correlation between WC and WHR with all four cardiovascular risk indicators (P<0.05). Also, there was a significant positive correlation between BMI and WHtR with CRI-I, CRI-II and AC (P<0.05). No significant relationship was found between BMI and WHtR with AIP (P>0.05).
Conclusion: WHR and WC indices have a greater ability than BMI and WHtR to predict the risk of cardiovascular diseases in working women.
