Summary
"La obesidad es una enfermedad crónica, recurrente y progresiva que se ha transformado rápidamente en una epidemia mundial. Según datos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), en el año 2014 más de 600 millones de adultos a nivel mundial presentaban esta enfermedad, estimándose que las cifras aumentarán para el año 2030. En Chile, de acuerdo a datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud 2016-2017, 74,2% de la población presenta sobrepeso u obesidad, lo que posiciona a Chile como el país que lidera el ranking de obesidad en América Latina y como uno de los diez países que presenta mayor obesidad a nivel mundial"--Tomado del texto.
Abstract
Background: Numerous studies have identified the role of Fat-mass-associated-gene (FTO) in the development of obesity. Aim: To investigate the association of FTO gene with adiposity markers in Chilean adults. Material and Methods: 409 participants were included in this cross-sectional study. The association between FTO (rs9939609) genotype and adiposity markers was determined using linear regression analyses. Adiposity markers included were: body weight, body mass index, fat mass, waist circumference, hip circumference and waist/hip ratio. Results: A fully adjusted model showed a significant association between FTO genotype and body weight (2.16 kg per each extra copy of the risk allele [95% confidence intervals (CI): 0.45 to 3.87], p = 0.014), body mass index (0.61 kg.m-2 [95% CI: 0.12 to 1.20], p = 0.050) and fat mass (1.14% [95% CI: 0.39 to 1.89], p = 0.010). The greater magnitude of association was found between the FTO gene and fat mass when the outcomes were standardized to z-score. Conclusions: This study confirms an association between the FTO gene and adiposity markers in Chilean adults, which is independent of major confounding factors. © 2018, Sociedad Medica de Santiago.
