Abstract

Objective: Waist circumference reference values ​​can be vary among societies. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the waist circumference values of Turkish adults people for 19-75 year. Material and Method: A total of 25.866 (11484 females and 14382 males) adult participants were recruited, grouped into categories of waist circumference in accordance with the World Health Organizasion cutoffs. W aist circumference was measured with a tape measure according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization. Results: It was found that waist circumference values ​​varied at certain age ranges. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant relationship between the age variable and waist circumference values for male (r=.441) and female (r=.444) adults. It was determined that 87.91% of the male adults participating were to have normal values ​​and 12.08% of them were to have higher risks of obesity related to the diseases, and 65.86% of female participants were to have normal values ​​and 34.14% of them were to have had higher risk of obesity related diseases. Conclusions: The use waist circumference for the prediction of risk factor clustering among adults has significant clinical utility. T hese analyses should be continued in future studies in order to examine both health and reference values ​​between societies.
