![]() ![]() Female gender was associated with a significantly lower risk of CAD (odds ratio : 0.31 95% confidence interval : 0.22-0.44), as was absence of diabetes (OR: 0.52 95% CI: 0.33-0.82), while there was a significantly higher risk of mortality associated with the presence of CAD (OR: 3.56 95% CI: 2.00-6.32) and alcohol consumption (OR: 3.55 95% CI: 1.60-7.90). The study showed that none of the anthropometric measures could be considered independent factors for either a diagnosis of CAD or mortality. ![]() CI, BMI and WC were assessed using logistic regression, Cox regression and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The primary endpoint was diagnosis of CAD, with mortality as the secondary endpoint. The sample consisted of 2396 individuals. ![]() This was a retrospective, longitudinal cohort study, based on the medical records of patients seen in a cardiology institution in a rural area of Rio Grande do Sul. This study was designed to assess whether the conicity index (CI), body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) can be used as predictors of coronary artery disease (CAD) and mortality in a middle-aged population of the north-western region of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. ![]()
