Abstract
Abstract Different studies report that visceral fat percentage, visceral adiposity index (VAI) and body mass index (BMI) are considered markers of dysfunction and adipose tissue distribution, which are considered early detection tools and indirect expression of cardio metabolic risk; however it is also reported that post prandial glucose and insulin are abnormalities that detect early type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular risk, due to their toxic effect on the vascular endothelium. The objective of the research was to evaluate the association of body composition, glucose and insulin postprandial for early prediction of diabetes and cardiovascular risk. It is a non-experimental study of cross-sectional design, in a total population of 271 adults between the ages 19 and 65 years, without diabetes, in a non-random sample calculated with 95% confidence level of patients attending outpatient clinics of private and IESS hospitals of Riobamba. Descriptive statistics were performed for all variables. With the variables related to cardio metabolic risk such as age, sex, abdominal circumference, mean arterial pressure, BMI, visceral fat and biochemical measures of HbA1c, fasting glucose, postprandial glucose and insulin, HOMA-IR index, and HDLC, triglycerides, cardio vascular risk index given by the ratio triglycerides/HDLc cholesterol over 3.5. These variables were grouped by a multivariate cluster analysis, kmeans, and two homogeneous groups were obtained, different from each other and different from the others, and then the average cardiovascular risk in each group was calculated. A 9: 1 ratio of women/men was found, for cluster 1 the average age was 49, and in cluster 2 it was 48 years, TAM: 87.5 mmHg, BMI: 27.12, PAB: 109 cm, visceral fat 12.79 and cardiovascular risk 4.78. In group 2 with predominance in cluster 2 the average values of the variables studied were significantly higher with a statistically significant p value for the differences between groups of postprandial glucose and insulin (p less than 0. 05). Conclusions postprandial glucose and insulin are early predictors of cardiovascular risk and diabetes. Key words: postprandial glucose, postprandial insulin, cardiovascular risk, body composition.
