Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to realize an anthropometric analysis including common indicators, somatotype rating and body fatness (BF) in males with myocardial infarction (MI)

Methods: Cross-sectional study of 116 males aged 30-75 years. Results: Weight (81.6±13.2 kg); height (169.4±7.1 cm); waist circumference (WC) (98.3±18.5 cm); umbilical circumference (102.4 ±21.8); hip circumference (99.3±13.6 cm); body mass index (BMI) (28.4±4 kg/m2); waist-hip ratio (WHR) (0.99±0.1, CI: 0.97-1)); waist-height ratio (WHtR) (0.58±0.1, CI: 0.56-0.60); BF (27.4% 4.5); endomorphy (4.6±1.3); mesomorphy (5.7±1.2); ectomorphy (0.8±0.8); conicity index (1.30±0.17). Correlations: BMI: BF (0.70), WC (0.70), WHR (0.48), WHtR (0.72), endomorphy (0.82), mesomorphy (0.81), ectomorphy (-0.81); WHR: BF (0.38), WC (0.69), endomorphy (0.39), mesomorphy (0.38); WHtR: BF (0.50), WC (0.96), endomorphy (0.58), mesomorphy (0.56), ectomorphy (-0.56); conicity index: WC (0.85), WHR (0.58), WHtR (0.85), endomorphy (0.45). Prevalence: WHtR (92%), WHR ?0.95 (87%), conicity index (86.7%), WHR ?1 (64%), BF ?25 (69.4%), BMI ?25-29.9 (45.6%), BMI ?30 (37%), endomorphy ?4.5 (47.2%), mesomorphy ?5.6 (50%), ectomorphy ?1.1 (71%).

Conclusions: MI males present a high-risk anthropometric profile. The somatotype rating is endomorphic-mesomorph. Waist, hip and height measurements show different involvement on the body composition. BMI-defined obesity appears to be the indicator with the more weak association and it does not discriminate between body components. WHR presents high prevalence but a weak relationship with the body composition of risk. WHtR reflects body volume distribution and the best correlations with the risk bodily components, actually being the most prevalent and accurate index to explain the biological risk associated to MI.
