[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST R0xHdFkb. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Previously reported associations between abdominal adiposity and coronary heart disease (CHD) may be mediated through serum lipids. In the present longitudinal study, 43 Western Samoan men who participated in a 1982 study were recontacted for a second determination of anthropometric and serum lipoprotein cholesterol levels. The men showed dramatic increases in weight (mean change SD : 10.5 8.8 kg), abdominal circumference (10.0 7.6 cm), total cholesterol (49.5 26.4 mg/dl), and non-HDL cholesterol (53.1 26.6 mg/dl). A new indicator was used to estimate changes in abdominal adiposity : the residual from the regression of change in the abdominal circumference on change in body weight (the AR). The AR was significantly correlated with changes in total (r=0.38) and non-HDL cholesterol (r=0.39). Changes in HDL cholesterol were correlated with changes in weight only (r=-0.37). These bivariate relations remained significant in multiple linear regression analyses. These longitudinal results are the first to suggest changes in abdominal adiposity are related to changes in total and non-HDL cholesterol levels.
