in recent years, considerable attention has
been given to the role of adiposity in the
development of chronic diseases, leading
to speculations that some forms of fat distribution
may be more important in the
causation of cardiovascular diseases than
others (1,2). Evidence for the strong re l ationship
between cardiovascular diseases
and adiposity has often been based on the
a n t h ropometric indices of BMI and waistto-hip
ratio (WHR). BMI is a height-independent
measure of weight often used as a
m e a s u re of whole body size and the degre e
of fatness within populations. The use of
BMI is controversial, however, in part
because its correlation with fatness is not
consistent across populations (3). WHR
m e a s u res central fat deposition but is a poor
m e a s u re of visceral fat mass, particularly in
lean individuals (4). Waist circ u m f e rence is
an aggregate measurement of the actual
amount of total and abdominal fat accumulation
and is a crucial correlate of the
complexities found among obese and overweight
patients (5,6). Unlike the BMI, waist
c i rc u m f e rence is not profoundly influ e n c e d
by height (7) and is there f o re a better predictor
of some cardiovascular diseases (8,9).
Waist circ u m f e rence has also been shown to
be more correlated with levels of abdominal
visceral adipose tissue (9–13).
Only a few studies examined the association
of waist circ u m f e rence with hypertension
and diabetes in populations of the
African diaspora (14,15). Investigating
Africans in the diaspora makes it possible to
dilute the potential confounding factors of
social class and race that occurs often in
black–white comparisons and to understand
the range of interactions that occur in widely
contrasting environments. This study examines
the association of abdominal fat distribution
(defined by waist circ u m f e re n c e )
with hypertension and type 2 diabetes.

dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, perhatian telah
diberikan kepada peran adipositas dalam
pengembangan penyakit kronis, yang mengarah
ke spekulasi bahwa beberapa bentuk distribusi lemak
mungkin lebih penting dalam
penyebab penyakit kardiovaskular daripada
yang lain (1,2). Bukti untuk re l ationship kuat
antara penyakit kardiovaskular
dan adipositas sering didasarkan pada
suatu indeks ropometric n dari BMI dan waistto-hip
ratio (WHR). BMI adalah tinggi-independen
ukuran berat sering digunakan sebagai

kegemukan dalam populasi. Penggunaan
BMI kontroversial, namun, sebagian
karena korelasinya dengan kegemukan tidak
konsisten di populasi (3). WHR

individu ramping (4). Pinggang circ umfe rence adalah
pengukuran agregat sebenarnya

dan merupakan korelasi penting dari
kompleksitas ditemukan di antara obesitas dan kelebihan berat badan
pasien (5,6). Tidak seperti BMI, pinggang

dengan tinggi badan (7) dan ada fo kembali prediktor yang lebih baik
dari beberapa penyakit kardiovaskular (8,9).
Pinggang circ umfe rence juga telah terbukti
lebih berkorelasi dengan tingkat perut

Hanya beberapa studi meneliti hubungan
