Introduction.
Different anthropometric variables have been shown to be related to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Our aim was to compare the association between different anthropometric measurements and inflammatory status.
Methods and results.
A cross-sectional study design in which we analyzed the data collected during a five-year period in the Tel Aviv Medical Center Inflammation Survey (TAMCIS).
Included in the study were 13,033 apparently healthy individuals at a mean (SD) age of 43.
Of these, 8,292 were male and 4,741 female.
A significant age-adjusted and multiple-adjusted partial correlation was noted between all anthropometric measurements and all inflammatory biomarkers.
There was no significant difference in the correlation coefficients between different biomarkers and anthropometric variables.
Conclusion.
Most of the common used anthropometric variables are similarly correlated with inflammatory variables.
The clinician can choose the variable that he/she finds easiest to use.
