Popis: ObjectiveThe objective of this study is to determine associations between anthropometry and echocardiographic measures of cardiac structure and function in Hispanic/Latinos.MethodsA total of 1,824 participants from ECHO-SOL were included. We evaluated associations between echocardiographic measures of left ventricular structure and function and anthropometric measures using multivariable-adjusted linear and logistic regression models adjusting for traditional cardiovascular risk factors.ResultsThe mean age was 56±0.17years, 57% were women. The mean body mass index (BMI) was 30±9.4kgm-2, waist circumference (WC) was 100±18cm, and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) was 0.93±0.15. Adjusted analysis showed that 5-unit increment in BMI and 5-cm increase in WC was associated with 3.4±0.6 and 1.05±0.05gm-2.7 (p
