ABSTRACT
Objective: 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/m2. 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.

Amaç: K›sa boy baz› kardiyovasküler risk faktörleri ile iliflki göstermektedir. Bu çal›flma fazla kilolu ve fliflman kad›
nlarda boy uzunlu¤u ile çeflitli kardiyovasküler risk faktörleri aras›ndaki iliflkiyi araflt›rmak amac›yla gerçeklefltirildi.
Gereç ve yöntem: Beden kitle indeksi 25-67 kg/m2 aras›nda de¤iflen 3665 fazla kilolu ve fliflman kad›nda boy ile
serum glukoz, ürik asit, total ve HDL-kolesterol, trigliserit, insülin, HOMA (homeostasis model assessment), sistolik
ve diyastolik damar bas›nc› aras›ndaki iliflki, korelasyon analizi ve boy uzunlu¤una göre ayr›lm›fl dört grupta
ANOVA, efllenmemifl seri t-testi ve ki-kare testi ile araflt›r›ld›.
Bulgular: Olgularda boy uzunlu¤u ile a¤›rl›k ve HDL kolesterol aras›nda anlaml› pozitif, boy uzunlu¤u ile yafl, beden
kitle indeksi, glukoz, kolesterol, trigliserit, maksimum ve minimum damar bas›nc› ve bel-kalça oran› aras›nda
anlaml› negatif iliflkiler bulundu. Boy ile ürik asit, insülin ve HOMA aras›nda anlaml› bir iliflki saptanmad›. Boy
uzunlu¤una göre dört gruba ayr›lan olgularda ANOVA ile yafl, a¤›rl›k, beden kitle indeksi, glukoz, maksimum ve
minimum damar bas›nc›, kolesterol, trigliserit ve bel kalça oran› aç›s›ndan gruplararas› anlaml› farklar bulundu. Vakalarda
çeyrek gruplar aras›nda diabetes mellitus, hipertansiyon, hiperkolesterolemi ve abdominal fliflmanl›k varl›-
¤› bak›m›ndan anlaml› farkl›l›k bulundu. Aksine hipertrigliseridemi ve HDL-kolesterol düflüklü¤ü varl›¤› aç›s›ndan
anlaml› bir fark saptanmad›.
Sonuç: Bulgular›m›z, fazla kilolu ve fliflman kad›nlarda k›sa boyun hiperglisemi, hipertansiyon ve hiperkolesterolemi
gibi tablolar birlikte olabilece¤ini desteklemektedir. Bu nedenle k›sa boylu ve fazla kilolu veya fliflman olan
kad›nlar kardiyovasküler risk varl›¤› bak›m›ndan daha yak›ndan izlenmelidir.
