ABSTRACT
Introduction: Excessive accumulations of adipose tissue are a threat to cardiometabolic health; their assessment in women would better inform about their metabolic state.Objective: To identify associations between cardiometabolic vulnerability states and atherogenic indices in the short-term postpartum period.
Method: A descriptive observational study was conducted from January 2017 to August 2018 on 119 women in short-term postpartum. The study population consisted of 773 pregnant women with adequate weight and apparently healthy at the time of recruitment, who were classified based on their cardiometabolic vulnerability due to body adiposity at the Policlínico Chiqui Gómez Lubián, between January 2012 and December 2016. The association of cardiometabolic vulnerability with the atherogenic indices was studied: Castelli, Kannel and the TG/HDLc ratio. The Kruskal-Wallis test was applied to compare independent samples.
Results: The Castelli (3.37), Kannel (2.02) and TG/HDL (0.71) indices showed lower mean values in women without vulnerability. The Castelli (4.20) and Kannel (2.69) indices showed higher values in women with extreme global vulnerability due to high overall adiposity and high central adiposity. The TG/HDLc index (1.18) reached the highest values in women with global vulnerability due to intermediate and high central overall adiposity.
Conclusions: The values of the atherogenic indices studied in the short-term postpartum period were associated with cardiometabolic vulnerability, with higher figures in women with intermediate and high general adiposity, and high central adiposity. Cardiometabolic vulnerability due to body adiposity in the short-term postpartum period may alert about atherogenic metabolic disorders, such as cardiovascular risk.
