Effective prevention \nand management require objective tools. The hypertriglyceridemic waist (TG+WC+) phenotype is proposed as a less \nexpensive approach to identify individuals with metabolic syndrome and other cardiovascular risk factors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title><jats:p>The current aim of this investigation is to study the epidemiological characteristics of the hypertriglyceridemic \nwaist phenotype and their correlations with cardiovascular risk factors and MetS in the Moroccan Amazigh ethnic group \nfrom the Souss region of Morocco.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Material and Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 827 Amazigh adults from the Sousse region of Morocco were divided into four distinct phenotype groups: TG-WC-, TG+WC-, TG-WC+, and TG+WC+ (normal TG- or high TG+ triglycerides\/normal WC- or \nhigh WC+ waist circumference). The association of the different phenotypes with MetS and other cardiovascular risk \nfactors was established by logistic regression analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The prevalence of the TG+WC+ phenotype was 27.7% and varied according to age group and sex. Among \nsubjects with the TG+WC+ phenotype, most were 41-60 years old (53.3%) and in women (74.2%). Participants with the \nTG+WC+ phenotype had the highest prevalence of dyslipidemia (87.3%), hypoHDLaemia (69.9%), and general obesity \n(37.12%). The three phenotypes TG-WC-, TG+WC- and TG-WC+ were less associated with MetS and other cardiovascular \nrisk factors. Moreover, people with the TG+WC+ phenotype had a very high odds ratio for MetS.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>These findings suggest that the TG+WC+ phenotype exhibits a robust correlation with MetS and additional \nvariables connected to cardiovascular risk. The TG+WC+ phenotype serves as a valuable clinical instrument for detecting \nindividuals vulnerable to MetS and cardiovascular diseases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.32394\/rpzh\/190852","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,25]],"date-time":"2024-07-25T12:32:55Z","timestamp":1721910775000},"page":"185-193","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Epidemiological aspects of the association of the hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk factors in Morocco.
