Abstract

Introduction: Anthropometric indices are linked to metabolic parameters and chronic diseases. While body mass index (BMI) is a widely used anthropometric index, the Body Roundness Index (BRI), which assesses visceral adiposity and total body fat, is less commonly used in studies. This study examined the relationship between metabolic risk markers and BRI patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. Methods: A total of 71 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism were included in the study, and there was no control group. BRI was calculated using a mathematical formula: 364.2 − 365.5 × √(1 − [waist circumference(cm) / 2π]2 / [0.5 × height(cm)]2. Gender differences in BRI were assessed using independent samples t-tests, while correlations with metabolic parameters were analyzed. One-way ANOVA was applied to evaluate differences in BRI among groups with varying cholesterol levels. Results: Females had significantly higher BRI values (6.56±1.79) than males (4.84±1.05) (t=-3.725, p=0.000). Among participants, 56.3% had normal cholesterol levels, 38.0% were borderline high, and 4% had high cholesterol. A weak but significant correlation was found between BMI (r=0.368, p<0.005) and BRI (r=0.394, p<0.005) and total cholesterol levels. Individuals with normal cholesterol levels had lower BRI values (5.62±1.60) compared to those with borderline high (6.70±1.78) and high (7.68±2.26) levels (F=4.876; p=0.011). Conclusion: Although BRI, an alternative anthropometric index that can be used in addition to BMI, has shown potential as a metabolic risk marker in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, further research is needed involving different patient groups and metabolic risk markers.

Özet

Giriş: Antropometrik indeksler metabolik parametreler ve kronik hastalıklarla ilişkilidir. Vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ) yaygın olarak kullanılırken, visseral adipoziteyi ve toplam vücut yağını değerlendiren Vücut Yuvarlaklık İndeksi (VYİ), mevcut antropometrik ölçümlerden biri olarak kabul edilmektedir. Ancak, primer hiperparatiroidizmde metabolik sağlığı değerlendirmedeki rolü henüz netlik kazanmamıştır. Bu çalışmada, primer hiperparatiroidizm hastalarında metabolik risk değerlendirmesinde VYİ'nin geçerliliği araştırılmıştır. VYİ değerleri analiz edilmiş ve cinsiyete ve kolesterol düzeylerine göre değişimleri incelenmiştir. Yöntem: Toplam 71 primer hiperparatiroidizm hastası çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. BRI, matematiksel bir formül kullanılarak hesaplandı: 364,2 − 365,5 × √(1 − [bel çevresi(cm) / 2π]2 / [0,5 × boy(cm)]2. BRI'daki cinsiyet farklılıkları, bağımsız örneklem t-testleri kullanılarak değerlendirilirken, metabolik parametrelerle korelasyonlar analiz edildi. Farklı kolesterol seviyelerine sahip gruplar arasında BRI'daki farklılıkları değerlendirmek için tek yönlü ANOVA uygulandı. Bulgular: Kadınların BRI değerleri (6,56±1,79), erkeklerden (4,84±1,05) anlamlı derecede daha yüksekti (t=-3,725, p=0,000). Katılımcıların %56,3'ünün kolesterol seviyeleri normaldi, %38,0'ının sınırda yüksekti ve %4'ünün yüksek kolesterolü vardı. Zayıf ancak anlamlı pozitif BMI (r=0,368, p<0,005) ve BRI (r=0,394, p<0,005) ile toplam kolesterol arasında korelasyon bulunmuştur. Tek yönlü varyans analizine göre; kolesterol seviyelerine göre BRI değerleri arasındaki fark anlamlıdır (F=4,876; p= 0,011). Normal kolesterol seviyelerine sahip olanların BRI değerleri (5,62±1,60), sınırda yüksek (6,70±1,78) ve yüksek (7,68±2,26) olanların BRI değerlerinden daha düşüktür. Sonuç: BRI, primer hiperparatiroidizmde metabolik bir risk belirteci olarak potansiyel göstermektedir ve diğer antropometrik indekslerle karşılaştırmak için daha fazla araştırmaya ihtiyaç vardır.
