dc.description.abstractIntroduction: The burden of cardiovascular disease an increasing public health problem worldwide as such in Turkey. This epidemiologic study was performed to determine co-existence of lipitension and central obesity among primary care patients. Materials and methods: A single-center retrospective case-control study was conducted in a population recruited from a family health center in year 2016. A total of 204 individuals with central obesity were matched on gender and age (+/- 2 years) with controls without central obesity. Chi-square and logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the association between lipitension and central obesity. Results: The prevalence of dyslipidemia, hypertension and lipitension in all participants was 60.8%, 40.4% and 23.3% respectively. Among cases, the prevalence of central obesity was 36% among women and 24.4% among men. The prevalence of lipitension in central obesity was 37.3% in this study. Lipitension risk was 1.75 fold higher in men than women. In particular, central obesity was strongly associated with lipitension (OR, 4.75; 95% CI, 2.87-7.87). Conclusions: The considerably high prevalence of lipitension and central obesity among the primary care population aged and over 30 invites to us for effective preventive measures and public health framework urgently.
