Cardiometabolic Risk Related to the Association of hypertriglyceridemia-Low HDLc.

Aims: High levels of plasma triglycerides (TG) are a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases often associated with anomalies in other lipids or lipoproteins. However, results from randomized trials, suggesting that low high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc) might not cause cardiovascular disease, as originally thought, have generated renewed interest in increased concentrations of TG. The objective has been to determine the prevalence and factors associated with hypertrigliceridemia (HTG) and with low HDLc.

Introduction: hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype has been associated with metabolic syndrome.

Objetives: in the present work has been raised to study the relationship between hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype and metabolic syndrome as well as other metabolic risk factors. And finally, assess whether it is associated with an increased cardiovascular risk.
