Introducción. La valoración de la grasa abdominal con la razón cintura talla (RCT) y la razón cintura cadera (RCC) constituyen mediciones sencillas de obtener en la atención primaria y evalúan el potencial riesgo cardiovascular y metabólico. El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar la relación entre riesgo de padecer diabetes mellitus 2 (DM2) e índices antropométricos en una población rural de Tucumán, Argentina. Métodos. Se realizó un estudio observacional, analítico y transversal. Participaron 113 personas de 18 a 64 años seleccionadas mediante muestreo aleatorio sistemático. Se utilizó el test Finnish Diabetes Risk Score para determinar el riesgo de tener DM2. La antropometría evaluada fue: índice de masa corporal (IMC), RCT, RCC. Se aplicó test de Fisher, Chi cuadrado, Pearson (r) y se analizaron curvas ROC. Se consideró α=0,10. Resultados. El 18% (20) presentó riesgo alto de padecer DM2 en los próximos 10 años. Existió correlación positiva significativa entre RCT y riesgo de padecer DM2 (r=0,65) así como RCC y riesgo de padecer DM2 (r=0,36). Se halló mayor frecuencia de riesgo de DM2 en personas con sobrepeso y obesidad. El punto de corte 0,6 en la curva ROC presentó una sensibilidad de 80% y una especificidad de 61% para discriminar pacientes con RCT que tuvieron riesgo riesgo elevado de presentar DM2 (p<0,001). Conclusiones. En la muestra estudiada (n=113), el 18%(20) presentó riesgo alto de padecer DM2, existió correlación positiva entre RCT, RCC y riesgo de presentar DM2. La RCT tuvo alta sensibilidad y especificidad para discriminar el riesgo de presentar DM2
Introduction. The assessment of abdominal fat with the ratio waist size (RCT) and waist hip ratio (RCC) are simple measurements to obtain in primary care and evaluate the potential cardiovascular and metabolic risk. The aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between the risk of suffering from diabetes mellitus 2 (DM2) and anthropometric indexes in a rural population of Tucumán, Argentina. Methods. Observational, analytical and transversal study was carried out. A total of 113 people aged 18 to 64 years were selected by systematic random sampling. The Finnish Diabetes Risk Score test was used to determine the risk of having DM2. The anthropometry evaluated was: body mass index (BMI), RCT, RCC. Fisher’s test, Chi square, Pearson (r) were applied and ROC curves were analyzed. α = 0.10 was considered. Results. 18% (20) had a high risk of developing DM2 in the next 10 years. There was a significant positive correlation between RCT and risk of DM2 (r = 0,65) as well as RCC and risk of DM2 (r = 0,36). A higher risk of DM2 was found in people with overweight and obesity. The cut-off point of 0,6 on the ROC curve showed a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 61% to discriminate patients with RCT who had a high risk of developing DM2 (p<0,001). Conclusions. In the sample studied (n = 113), 18% (20) had a high risk of developing DM2, there was a positive correlation between RCT, RCC and risk of developing DM2. The RCT had high sensitivity and specificity to discriminate the risk of presenting DM2.
