REYES GAMONAL, Jacqueline Milagros et al. Hypertriglyceridemic waist and arterial hypertension in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Rev. Fac. Med. Hum. [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.4, pp.743-753. Epub 12-Out-2022. ISSN 1814-5469. http://dx.doi.org/10.25176/rfmh.v22i4.5092.
Objective:
Develop a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the association between hypertriglyceridemic waist (CHTG) and arterial hypertension (HBP) in adults.
Methods:
The present study is a systematic review (SR) with a meta-analysis of analytical cross-sectional observational studies. Search strategies will be used in databases: Pubmed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Embase. The qualitative analysis was presented in a table with the characteristics of each study. For quantitative analysis, a random-effects meta-analysis was performed due to the heterogeneity of the studies. These variables were compared using Odds Ratios (OR) as a measure of association with their corresponding 95% confidence interval.
Results:
Five studies were included for statistical analysis. A statistically significant association was found between both variables (OR: 1.36; 95% CI 1.07 to 1.71). In turn, there was a high heterogeneity (I squared 92%).
Conclusions:
This SR found that CHTG is associated with the presence of hypertension. However, given the few studies found, it is recommended to carry out more primary studies with a prospective design before carrying out the next SR on the subject and with standardized cut-off points to make more homogeneous comparability.
