- Hypertriglyceridemic waist (elevated waist girth and triglyceride concentrations) could be a simple and inexpensive way to identify individuals with high levels of intra-abdominal (visceral) fat and the features of the metabolic syndrome.
- The simultaneous presence of an elevated waist circumference and high triglyceride levels increases relative risk of CHD.
- Hypertriglyceridemic waist increases the risk of type 2 diabetes.
- A diagnosis of hypertriglyceridemic waist is not sufficient, however, to assess global CHD risk.
