Article Abstract
Objective: The hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) phenotype is characterized by abdominal obesity and high levels of triglycerides. In a cross-sectional assessment of PREDIMED-Plus trial participants at baseline, HTGW phenotype prevalence was evaluated, associated risk factors were analyzed, and the lifestyle of individuals with metabolic syndrome and HTGW was examined.
Methods: A total of 6,874 individuals aged 55 to 75 with BMI ≥ 27 and < 40 kg/m were included and classified by presence (HTGW ) or absence (HTGW ) of HTGW (waist circumference: men ≥ 102 cm, women ≥ 88 cm; fasting plasma triglycerides ≥ 150 mg/dL). Analytical parameters and lifestyle (energy intake and expenditure) were analyzed.
Results: A total of 38.2% of the sample met HTGW criteria. HTGW individuals tended to be younger, have a greater degree of obesity, be sedentary, and be tobacco users. They had higher peripheral glucose, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels; had lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels; and had increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) adherence and physical activity were greater in HTGW patients. Age, BMI, tobacco use, total energy expenditure, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and MedDiet adherence were associated with HTGW .
Conclusions: HTGW is a highly prevalent phenotype in this population associated with younger age, higher BMI, tobacco use, and decreased MedDiet adherence. HTGW individuals were more physically active with greater total physical activity, and fewer had hypertension.

Background: The hypertriglyceridemic-waist phenotype (HTWP), defined by concurrent hypertriglyceridemia and increased waist circumference, is a recognized marker of metabolic and cardiovascular risk. While extensively studied across populations, data on Amerindian communities remain scarce. This study examines HTWP prevalence and its association with type 2 diabetes mellitus in middle-aged and older adults of Amerindian ancestry in rural Ecuador.

The objective of this study was to analyze the prevalence and key sociodemographic and lifestyle determinants of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and the hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) phenotype in a large occupational cohort. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and the hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) phenotype, defined as the simultaneous presence of elevated waist circumference and high triglyceride levels, are major predictors of cardiometabolic morbidity and mortality. Despite their clinical relevance, data on their distribution and determinants in large occupational populations remain limited.

Background: Relative monocyte count (RMC) is a low-cost widely used biomarker with the potential to predict obesity-related health risks. However, high cardiovascular risk could affect white blood cell dynamics. So, we aimed to investigate the associations between RMC with cardiometabolic risk markers in subjects at secondary prevention.

Background: The hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) phenotype was introduced as a means of identifying individuals at risk of developing metabolic syndrome as well as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. However, studies surrounding the prevalence of the phenotype and its relationship with established markers of cardiometabolic risk, especially in the Nigerian population, remain sparse. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of the HTGW phenotype and explore its relationship with cardiovascular risk markers, namely Castelli Risk Indices I and II (CRI-I and CRI-II), Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) and serum triglyceride-HDL cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL).
