Abstract
Background. Abdominal obesity is a major risk factor of
cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and premature death. However, it has
not been resolved which factors predispose for the development of these adverse obesity-related
outcomes in otherwise healthy individuals with abdominal obesity. Methods. We studied
1,506 abdominal obese individuals (waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) ≥ 0.5) free of CVD or T2DM from the population-based Study of Health in
Pomerania and assessed the incidence of CVD or T2DM after a five-year followup. Logistic
regression models were adjusted for major cardiovascular risk factors and liver, kidney diseases,
and sociodemographic status. Results. During follow-up time, we observed 114 and 136 new T2DM and CVD cases, respectively.
Regression models identified age, waist circumference, serum glucose, and liver disease as predictors of T2DM.
Regarding CVD, only age,
unemployment, and a divorced or widowed marital status were
significantly associated with incident CVD. In this subgroup of obese individuals blood pressure,
serum glucose, or lipids did not influence incidence of T2DM or CVD. Conclusion.
We identified various factors associated with an increased risk of incident T2DM and CVD among
abdominally obese individuals. These findings may improve the detection of high-risk individuals and
help to advance prevention strategies in abdominal obesity.
