We investigated the relations between anthropometric characteristics (height, body mass index and waist circumference (WC)) and two dengue outcomes, seropositivity and hospitalisation, in a cross-sectional study of 2038 children (aged 2\u201315 years) and 408 adults (aged 18\u201372 years) from Bucaramanga, Colombia. Anthropometric variables were standardised by age and sex in children. Seropositivity was determined through immunoglobulin G antibodies; past hospitalisation for dengue was self-reported. We modelled the prevalence of each outcome by levels of anthropometric exposures using generalised estimating equations with restricted cubic splines. In children, dengue seropositivity was 60.8%; 9.9% of seropositive children reported prior hospitalisation for dengue. WC was positively associated with seropositivity in girls (90th <jats:italic>vs.<\/jats:italic> 10th percentile adjusted prevalence ratio (APR) = 1.19; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03\u20131.36). Among adults, dengue seropositivity was 95.1%; 8.1% of seropositive adults reported past hospitalisation. Height was inversely associated with seropositivity (APR = 0.90; 95% CI 0.83\u20130.99) and with hospitalisation history (APR = 0.19; 95% CI 0.04\u20130.79). WC was inversely associated with seropositivity (APR = 0.89; 95% CI 0.81\u20130.98). We conclude that anthropometry correlates with a history of dengue, but could not determine causation. Prospective studies are warranted to enhance causal inference on these questions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268821000388","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,15]],"date-time":"2021-02-15T07:42:22Z","timestamp":1613374942000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Seropositivity and history of hospitalisation for dengue in relation to anthropometric indices among Colombian children and adults"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"149","author":[{"given":"M.
