People with abdominal obesity often present to their general practitioner with one or more
these additional risk factors.7 A high waist circumference is also independently associated with
an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.2 ,7 The measurement of waist circumference
provides physicians with important information on health risk in the evaluation of overweight
and obese people.8
Excess Fat Stored in the Abdomen is Damaging to Health
Not all fat is the same.Subcutaneous fat is stored directly under the skin.The health threat
posed by abdominal obesity is largely due to intra-abdominal fat (adipose tissue) located inside
the abdominal region and wrapped around the major organs of the body.5 This intra-abdominal
adipose tissue is acknowledged to impact glucose metabolism and cause abnormal levels of
HDL cholesterol and triglycerides.9
Sanofi-aventis is delighted to partner with the World Heart Federation,a powerful voice in
cardiovascular health,to highlight the need for greater preventive measures to help combat
this global threat.
