Objective: This study evaluated the agreement between hypertriglyceridemic waist and hypertriglyceridemic waist height phenotypes and the association of these phenotypes with anthropometric, biochemical, and clinical alterations in adult men with increased metabolic risk due to rotating shift exposure. Methods: The cross-sectional study included 678 male workers. The hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype was defined as waist circumference ≥ 94 cm and triglyceride concentration ≥150 mg/dL; the hypertriglyceridemic waist height phenotype was defined as a height-waist ratio ≥0.5 and triglyceride concentration ≥ 150mg/dL. Body mass index, blood pressure, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, and glucose levels were evaluated. The Kappa test was used to assess the concordance between phenotypes, and the Pearson's chi-square tests were used to verify the association between phenotypes and risk components for cardiovascular diseases. For all tests, the significance level was 5%. Results: The agreement between the hypertriglyceridemic waist and the hypertriglyceridemic waist height phenotypes was significant and substantial. Both phenotypes were significantly related to increased body mass index, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and blood pressure. Conclusion: We propose the use of hypertriglyceridemic waist-to-height ratio as it demonstrated associations that persisted regardless of the age group and also identified a higher proportion of rotating shift workers with cardiovascular risk components.
