测量了487名参加健康妇女研究的中年妇女的腰臀比（WHR）。上半身脂肪分布与许多影响心血管风险的行为有关，包括吸烟，低运动水平，成年期体重增加和较高的热量摄入。此外，腰臀比还与更高水平的愤怒、焦虑和抑郁以及更低水平的社会支持有关。上半身脂肪肥胖的妇女有较高的收缩压，总胆固醇，低密度脂蛋白胆固醇，甘油三酯，载脂蛋白B和较低水平的高密度脂蛋白（HDL）和HDL亚组分2和3。在调整体重指数后，这些关联仍然显着。在108名重复测量腰臀比的妇女中，3年内腰臀比的变化与活动的变化和HDL2的降低显著相关。因此，腰臀比似乎是心血管风险的一个组成部分。WHR与影响心血管风险的行为和心理社会属性有关。
Waist to hip ratio (WHR) was measured in 487 middle-aged women participating in the Healthy Women Study. Upper body fat distribution was found to be associated with numerous behaviors that affect cardiovascular risk, including smoking, low exercise levels, weight gain during adulthood, and higher caloric intake. Moreover, WHR was also associated with higher levels of anger, anxiety, and depression and lower levels of perceived social support. Women with upper body fat obesity had higher systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and apolipoprotein B and lower levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL) and the HDL subfractions 2 and 3. These associations remained significant after adjusting for body mass index. Among 108 women who had repeat measurements of WHR, changes in WHR over a 3-year period were significantly correlated with changes in activity and with decreases in HDL2. Thus, WHR appears to be an integral component of the cardiovascular risk profile. WHR is related to those behaviors and psychosocial attributes that influence cardiovascular risk.
