Abstract

The current study aimed to investigate the association of wrist circumference with major cardio metabolic risk factors. This study was conducted in 2005-2007 among 3000 first-degree relatives of diabetic patients in Isfahan, Iran. Overall, 1709 (386 males and 1323 females) participants were enrolled in this study. The association of wrist circumference with cardio- metabolic risk factors was significantly positive with waist circumference (p = 0.001), BMI (p = 0.001), and LDL-C (p = 0.01), but significantly inverse with HDL-C (p = 0.001). The corresponding figure was not significant for triglycerides (p = 0.13), total cholesterol (p = 0.13), systolic BP (p = 0.15), diastolic BP (p = 0.6), and HbA1c (p = 0.4). Measurement of wrist circumference can serve as an easy-to-detect clinical marker to identify individuals at risk of cardio metabolic disorders, and can be used in large epidemiological studies.
