ObjectiveThis study assesses the association of the phase angle (PhA) with the metabolic profile in adults of both sexes.MethodsThis is a cross-sectional, population-based study including 949 adults 20 to 59 y of age living in the Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil - urban zone. The PhA was measured based on electrical bioimpedance analysis. The metabolic profile comprised the following components: waist circumference, glucose, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), non-HDL-C, triglycerides, C-reactive protein, homeostatic model assessment index-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), serum uric acid, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure. Linear regression models (crude and adjusted) were used to determine the association between each independent and dependent variable; statistical significance was analyzed at 5%.ResultsMultiple analyses showed that the increase in the values of waist circumference (β: -0.01; 95%CI: -0.03; -0.01) represented lower values in the PhA. For the glucose, non-HDL-C, triglycerides, CRP, HOMA-IR and uric acid there was no association with PhA in the adjusted models. .ConclusionLow PhA was directly associated with grater values of the waist circumference, even after adjustments were made in the sociodemographic, lifestyle variables and body mass index; this outcome suggests that PhA is a promising cardiometabolic profile biomarker in adults.Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
