One of the epidemics in Latin America is Obesity; together with Diabetes Mellitus type 2 mellitus and hypertension, which make up the Metabolic Syndrome associated with a number of dyslipidemic disorders. Obesity has different behavior when associated with fat accumulation in the intra-abdominal region, increasing the risk for cardiovascular disease, translating the abdominal circumference measurement as a proxy for identification.
This research was descriptive and transversal, within the framework of the project "Clinical and epidemiological characteristics of diabetes in Coroico, 201 4 11 ; in order to determine the relationship between high values of abdominal circumference, obesity and diabetes using this measure.
The total population was 404, with 196 (48,51%) women, of which 129 (65,81%) with abdominal circumference >88 cm; in relation to men, they were 208, from which, 22 (10,57%) with abdominal circumference >102 cm; in this group 14 people with DM2, 64,18% in males and 35,82% females were identified.
The results showed that abdominal obesity in men represents an indicator of concomitance and comorbidity with Diabetes Mellitus type 2 and hypertension, which together increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
