Methods: Cross-sectional study, conducted at the nutrition clinic of a private college in the city of Maceió, Alagoas. We included randomly selected adults and elderly individuals with abdominal obesity, of both sexes, treated from August to December of 2009, with no history of cardiomyopathy or cardiovascular events. To determine the cardiovascular risk, the Framingham score was calculated. All analyzes were performed with SPSS software version 20.0, with p <0.05 as significative. Results: We studied 54 subjects, 83% female, the mean age was 48 years old, ranging from 31 to 73 years. No correlation was observed between measurements of waist circumference and cardiovascular risk in the subjects studied (r=0.065, p=0.048), and there was no relationship between these parameters. Conclusion: Abdominal fat distribution was weakly related to cardiovascular risk in patients seen by a clinical school of nutrition.http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0104-42302016000200138&lng=en&tlng=enobesidade abdominaldoenças cardiovascularesobesidadefatores de risco |
