| Abstract | and r = 0.51, p = 0.000, respectively), dBP (r = 0.48, p = 0.000 and r = 0.48, p = 0.000, respectively), the presence of hypertension (r= 0.38, p = 0.000 and r = 0.39, p = 0.000, respectively), plasma fasting insulin level (r = 0.48, p = 0.000 and r = 0.44, p = 0.000, respectively), second hour insulin level (r = 0.40, p = 0.001 and r = 0.35, p = 0.004, respectively), first hour glucose level (r = 0.34, p = 0.001 and r = 0.29, p = 0.005, respectively), and second hour glucose level (r = 0.28, p = 0.007 and r = 0.25, p = 0.01, respectively)(during OGTT), triglyceride level (r = 0.37, p = 0.000 and r = 0.40, p = 0.000, respectively), and total cholesterol level (r = 0.23, p = 0.01 and r = 0.31, p = 0.01, respectively) than BMI and PBF. These results suggest that WC and WHR have a stronger correlation with cardiovascular risk factors than BMI and PBF. Although PBF also has an important association with some cardiovascular risk factors, it is not a better predictor of hypertension, NIDDM, or plasma glucose, insulin and lipid abnormalities than BMI. |
