Ten-year changes in the obesity, abdominal adiposity, and serum lipoprotein cholesterol measures of Western Samoan men
Abstract
Previously reported associations between abdominal adiposity and coronary heart disease (CHD) may be mediated through serum lipids. In the present longitudinal study, 43 Western Samoan men who participated in a 1982 study were recontacted for a second determination of anthropometric and serum lipoprotein cholesterol levels. The men showed dramatic increases in weight (mean change +/- SD: 10.5 +/- 8.8 kg), abdominal circumference (10.0 +/- 7.6 cm), total cholesterol (49.5 +/- 26.4 mg/dl), and non-HDL cholesterol (53.1 +/- 26.6 mg/dl). A new indicator was used to estimate changes in abdominal adiposity: the residual from the regression of change in the abdominal circumference on change in body weight (the AR). The AR was significantly correlated with changes in total (r = 0.38) and non-HDL cholesterol (r = 0.39). Changes in HDL cholesterol were correlated with changes in weight only (r = -0.37). These bivariate relations remained significant in multiple linear regression analyses. These longitudinal results are the first to suggest changes in abdominal adiposity are related to changes in total and non-HDL cholesterol levels.
