dc.description.abstractObjective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between height and cardiovascular risk markers in overweight and obese women. Materials and methods: The study group was composed of 3665 overweight or obese women with body mass index varying from 25 to 67 kg/m(2). In order to determine the relationship between body height and various cardiovascular risk markers, ANOVA, unpaired-t test and chi-square tests were performed. Results: Data analyses indicated a significant positive relationship between height and weight and HDL cholesterol and an inverse relationship between height and age, serum total cholesterol, glucose, triglyceride, systolic and diastolic blood pressure. No significant relationship was found between height and uric acid, insulin and HOMA (homeostasis model assessment). Age, weight, body mass index, glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, systolic and diastolic blood pressures were found to vary between quartiles of stature. The incidence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and abdominal obesity also was found to differ significantly between quartiles of stature using ANOVAanalysis. Conclusion: These results support the suggestion that short stature may be relevant to hyperglycemia, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. Therefore, the measurement of metabolic risk markers could be useful in clinical screening for overweight and obese women of short stature.en_US
