Aim: To study the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) in an urban adult Spanish population and its association with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD).Methods: We undertook a cross-sectional analysis in a random sample of 2270 individuals (18-80 years of age). All participants provided a clinical history and underwent a physical examination. Blood and urine analyses were conducted. HTGW was diagnosed using anthropometric criteria for the European population (waist circumference: for men, >= 94 cm; for women, >= 80 cm) and fasting plasma triglycerides (TGs) >= 1.71 mmol l(-1) (>= 150mg per 100 ml).Results: The prevalence of HTGW was 14.5% (men: 18.2%, women: 10.8%) and was significantly greater in men
