Abstract
- Aims The current study aimed to evaluate the associations between general and abdominal obesity with left ventricular (LV) structure and function and whether these associations differed by sex. Methods and results This is a community‐based cross‐sectional study, and 971 hypertensive individuals without overt cardiovascular disease were included. General obesity was defined as body mass index (BMI) ≥ 28 kg/m2, and abdominal obesity was defined as waist circumference (WC) ≥ 90 cm for men and ≥85 cm for women. The associations between general and abdominal obesity with LV structure and function were examined using linear regression analysis, and the interaction by sex was performed. The mean age was 66.5 ± 11.4 years, and women accounted for 62%. General obese individuals (n = 205) were more likely to have concentric remodelling, LV hypertrophy, and worse diastolic function. Similar differences were observed in abdominal obese individuals (n = 593). General obesity was associated with LV end‐diastolic volume, LV mass, left atrial volume, and septal E/e' ratio after adjusting for WC and clinical covariates; and abdominal obesity was associated with septal e' velocity after adjusting for BMI and clinical covariates. The associations between general obesity with LV structure and function did not differ by sex, while the magnitudes of the associations between abdominal obesity with LV mass and septal e' velocity were greater in men. Conclusions General and abdominal obesity were associated with different patterns of LV structural and functional alterations, stressing the importance of incorporating BMI and WC measurements into assessing obesity‐related LV alterations.
