Association of the conicity index with diabetes and hypertension in Brazilian women

ABSTRACT Objective The goal of this study was evaluate the conicity index (C index) in women and its association with hypertension (SAH) and diabetes mellitus (DM). Subjects and methods This was a cross-sectional study, with 573 women between 20 and 59 years of age. After analysis of clinical and demographic characteristics, anthropometric variables were measured and used to calculate the C index. Plasma glucose and lipid profile were evaluated by standard methods. The analysis of the results was based on logistic regression and the odds ratio (OR) was calculated, which was used to assess the association of the variable outcome with the variable exposure using two logistic regression models that tested the possible influence of the C index in the chance of developing SAH or DM. A confidence interval of 95% was used. Results In the crude and adjusted models, the OR confirmed the association of the C index with DM and SAH. Compared with women that showed C index p

摘要
目的：本研究旨在评估女性人群的圆锥指数（conicity index，C index），并分析其与高血压（hypertension，SAH）及糖尿病（diabetes mellitus，DM）的关联。
对象与方法：本研究为横断面研究，共纳入573名年龄介于20至59岁的女性。在收集并分析临床及人口统计学特征后，研究人员测量了人体测量学变量，并利用这些变量计算圆锥指数。采用标准方法检测血浆葡萄糖与血脂谱。结果分析基于logistic回归模型，计算比值比（odds ratio，OR）；通过构建两个logistic回归模型，分别检验圆锥指数对发生高血压或糖尿病的风险影响，以评估结局变量与暴露变量间的关联，所有分析均采用95%置信区间。
结果：在粗模型与校正模型中，比值比均证实圆锥指数与糖尿病及高血压存在关联。与圆锥指数为p的女性相比
