| Sumario: | Introduction: Cardiometabolic disease is an important public health problem worldwide, the early evaluation of risk factors will allow a prompt medical and nutritional intervention. Objective: To determine the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk (CMR) using anthropometry, and the associations between its indexes, in adults from Teotitlán de Flores Magón, Oaxaca; Mexico. Material and method: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was performed in 208 individuals older than 20 years old. CMR was evaluated based on body mass index, waist circumference, waist to height ratio and conicity index. All variables were analyzed using descriptive statistics; Pearson's Chi square and Spearman's correlation were used to analyze associations and correlations, respectively, P < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The prevalence of obesity was significantly higher in women (42.34%) than in men (35.21%). Prevalence for CMR ranging from 17.31% to 87.5% was observed according to the parameter analyzed, a significant positive correlation was found among all parameters. A higher CMR among women for all markers analyzed was found. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that anthropometric measurements constitute an affordable alternative to evaluate the CMR on communities lacking health infrastructure, however, this approach could be completed using some other indicators. |
