Raul Santos: Waist-to-Height Ratio and Coronary Artery Calcium Incidence
Raul Santos, Researcher at ARO Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, shared on LinkedIn:
“Our new study shows that visceral adiposity is independently associated with the incidence of subclinical atherosclerosis in the ELSA-Brasil study. The waist-to-height ratio was the only measure of adiposity robust enough to identify CAC incidence in 2721 middle-aged Brazilian civil servants. The study led by Marcio Sommer Bittencourt and Thiago Mendes reinforces the role of excess adiposity in the atherosclerosis process.
Not only is the importance of this biomarker, but the need to fight obesity to prevent cardiovascular disease! cardiovascular disease prevention obesity Paulo Lotufo Isabela Bensenor International Atherosclerosis Society (IAS) World Heart Federation”
