ABSTRACT
Objetivo Comprobar si la composición corporal en los pacientes con obesidad de riesgo alto (índice de masa corporal>35 o entre 30 y 34,9kg/m2 con un perímetro abdominal mayor de 102cm en varones o mayor de 88cm en mujeres) se relaciona con la enfermedad vascular. Métodos Estudio transversal de pacientes con obesidad de riesgo alto. Se mide su masa grasa mediante bioimpedancia y la rigidez arterial mediante la velocidad de la onda de pulso (VOP). Se analizan los terciles de pacientes según la distribución de la VOP. Resultados Se ha estudiado a 59 pacientes. Con incrementos de la VOP, aumentan el IMC (p=0,02) y el contenido de masa grasa (p<0,00). Existe, además, un incremento significativo de los indicadores de inflamación. Conclusiones En pacientes con obesidad de riesgo alto existen diferencias relativas a su composición corporal que se asocian a modificaciones de su rigidez arterial y de su carga inflamatoria (AU)
Objective The aim is to observe whether body composition in patients with high-risk obesity (body mass index>35 or between 30 and 34.9kg/m2 with a waist circumference greater than 102cm in men or greater than 88cm in women) is related with vascular disease. Methods This is a cross-sectional study of patients with high-risk obesity. Their fat mass was measured through bioimpedance and arterial stiffness through pulse wave velocity (PWV). Tertiles of patients were analyzed according to PWV distribution. Results A total of 59 patients were analyzed. As PWV increased, BMI (p=0.02) and fat mass content (p<0.00) increased. There was also a significant increase in inflammation indicators. Conclusions In patients with high-risk obesity, there were differences in their body composition which were associated with changes in arterial stiffness and inflammatory burden (AU)
