Abstract

Background: Aging leads to a significant component of body fat being placed in the abdomen, which improves triglyceride levels and lowers High - the density of lipoprotein. Compared to other lipid ratios, the TG/HDL-C ratio is a reliable indicator in detecting metabolic syndrome. This research aims to establish the TG/HDL-C ratio and the association between the severity of abdominal obesity and, thus, the TG/HDL-C ratio in elderly abdominal obesity.
Methods: This observational study used a cross-sectional design and included 46 older people with abdominal obesity selected through multiple sampling stages. Waist circumference served as the study's independent variable, and the TG/HDL-C ratio served as the study's dependent variable. The waist circumference was calculated to the closest of 0.1 cm and used as an indicator of abdominal obesity. The GPO-PAP method was employed to determine triglycerides, while the CHOD-PAP method was employed to measure HDL cholesterol. The TG/HDL-C ratio was evaluated with abdominal obesity by Spearman's rank test. Multiple linear regression analyses are used in multivariate analysis.
Results: The subject's mean waist circumference was 91.1 ± 6.1 cm. A high TG/HDL-C ratio was present in 80.4% of the individuals. The average TG was (144.54 ± 63.31), HDL-C was (52.59 ± 13.82), and the ratio TG/HDL-C was (3.16 ± 2.02). Women had a higher average TG/HDL-C ratio (3.16 ± 2.07) than men (3.05 ± 1.76) (p = 0.891). The ratio of TG/HDL-C and the severity of abdominal obesity was positively associated (r= 0.349, p= 0.018).
Conclusion: The TG/HDL-C ratio has risen in elderly abdominal obesity. The TG/HDL-C ratio improves in linear proportion to the level of abdominal fat.
Keywords: elderly, waist circumference, abdominal obesity, TG/HDL-C ratio.
