Introduction: The objective was to verify the relationship between anthropometric parameters and biomarkers associated with cardiometabolic diseases in military personnel. Methods: This is an analytical cross-sectional study, which involved 26 male Brazilian Army (EB) soldiers, with a mean age of 32.7 ± 2.12, physically active and from various EB military organizations. Serological clinical biomarkers were evaluated: glucose (GLUC), insulin (INSUL), triglyceride (TRIG), total cholesterol (TC) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL-c) and anthropometric variables obtained with a dual energy X-ray absorption densitometer (DXA) and body circumferences. The Shapiro-Wilk test and the Pearson correlation test were applied using the software Statistics® version 12.0. Results: Significant negative correlations between GLUC and lean mass (LM) (r = -0.46; p = 0.031) and fat-free mass (FFM) (r = -0.46; p = 0.032) and positive with the percentage of fat (%F) (r = 0.43; p = 0.043). Insulin (INSUL) showed positive correlations with fat mass (FM) (r = 0.52; p = 0.012); visceral adipose tissue (VAT) (r = 0.48; p = 0.024), waist circumference (WC) (r = 0.53; p = 0.01) and body mass index (BMI) (r = 0, 54; p = 0.009). The index of the model for assessing insulin homeostasis (HOMA-IR) showed positive correlations with %F (r = 0.44; p = 0.04), FM (r = 0.55; p = 0.007), VAT ( r = 0.52; p = 0.014), WC (r = 0.54; p = 0.01) and with the BMI (r = 0.52; p = 0.014). Conclusion: There was a positive association between variables representing insulin resistance and those related to body fat. In addition to negative correlations between GLUC and variables related to muscle mass.
Resumen. Introducción. El objetivo fue verificar la relación entre parámetros antropométricos y biomarcadores asociados a enfermedades cardiometabólicas en personal militar. Métodos: Se trata de un estudio analítico de corte transversal, que involucró a 26 hombres soldados del Ejército Brasileño (EB), con una edad media de 32,7 ± 2,12 años, físicamente activos y de diversas organizaciones militares de la EB. Se evaluaron biomarcadores clínicos serológicos: glucosa (GLIC), insulina (INSUL), triglicéridos (TRIG), colesterol total (CT) y lipoproteínas de alta densidad (HDL-c) y variables antropométricas obtenidas con densitómetro de absorción de rayos X de energía dual (DXA) y circunferencias corporales. La prueba de Shapiro-Wilk y la prueba de correlación de Pearson se aplicaron utilizando el software Statistics® versión 12.0. Resultados: Correlaciones negativas significativas entre GLIC y masa magra (LM) (r = -0.46; p = 0.031) y masa libre de grasa (FFM) (r = -0.46; p = 0.032) y positiva con el porcentaje de grasa (% F) (r = 0,43; p = 0,043). La insulina (INSUL) mostró correlaciones positivas con la masa grasa (MG) (r = 0,52; p = 0,012); tejido adiposo visceral (IVA) (r = 0,48; p = 0,024), circunferencia de cintura (CC) (r = 0,53; p = 0,01) e índice de masa corporal (IMC) (r = 0, 54; p = 0,009). El índice del modelo para evaluar la homeostasis de la insulina (HOMA-IR) mostró correlaciones positivas con% F (r = 0.44; p = 0.04), MG (r = 0.55; p = 0.007), TAV (r = 0.52; p = 0.014), CC (r = 0,54; p = 0,01) y con el IMC (r = 0,52; p = 0,014). Conclusión: Hubo una asociación positiva entre las variables que representan la resistencia a la insulina y las relacionadas con la grasa corporal. Además de correlaciones negativas entre GLIC y variables relacionadas con la masa muscular.
