ABSTRACT
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) ranks first in the
health picture of almost all the countries of the world,
notwithstanding the socioeconomical status of the
societies. Strategies required for identification and
realization of the cardiovascular risk (CVR) are thus
needed and justified. Influence of body fat, and
visceral fat as a topographical specialization, upon
the onset and progression of CVD has been
established. CVR might be estimated by means of
global as well as regional markers of obesity. Hence,
anthropometry might serve for estimating the size of
body fat, and so, to quantitate CVR in a subject
presenting with excessive body weight.
Anthropometry might also serve for measuring the
impact of food and nutritional interventions in the
reduction of CVR. It is expected assimilation of
anthropometric protocols for assessing body fat in
medical care settings might contribute to a better
appreciation of the CVR, and so, to improved
treatment strategies of CVD.
