Pregestational obesity as a cardiometabolic risk
Abstract
Introduction: Obesity is considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Objective: To characterize anthropometric and analytical parameters to measure the degree of obesity and its association with cardiometabolic risk factors.
Method: We conducted a cross-sectional analytical study in a group of pregnant women who started their pregnancy exhibiting a body mass index above 25 kg/m2 (overweight and obese) with an intentional sample of 184 pregnant women. Variables assessed were: age, height, weight, nutritional status and weight gain; subsequently, the prevalence of obesity was calculated and weight gain at the end of pregnancy was evaluated. Descriptive statistics were performed for the analysis of the variables using the SPSS v. 20 statistical program.
Results: There was a predominance of pregnant women evaluated as class I obese (134), representing 72.8%. All four indices related to cardiometabolic risk were highly prevalent.
Conclusions: The prevalence of abdominal obesity was high in the sample studied. Anthropometric and analytical variables analyzed showed cardiometabolic risk values from early detection of pregnancy.
