Investigation of the relationship between Abdominal Aortic Calcified Plaques deter-mined by multidetector computed tomogra-phy (MDCT) and Body Mass Index (BMI)
Öz
SUMMARY
Objective: Potential correlation between abdominal aortic atherosclerosis measured by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and body mass index (BMI) is investigated in this presented study.
Method: The presented study includes 228 patients between July 2013 and January 2014 in our clinic. Calcium scores of abdominal aortic calcified plaques (AaCs) between celiac trunk and iliac bifurcation in axial sections were measured as Agatston units (AU.). Following the abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans, all patient’s heights and weights were obtained from medical reports. Their body mass indexes (BMI) were calculated by dividing these two variables. Patients were then grouped according to World Health Organization Expert Committee on Physical Status. BMIs under 25 kg/m2 were categorized as normal weighted group (Group 1), BMIs between 25 - 29.9 kg/m2 were grouped as overweighted (Group 2), and BMIs equal or over 30 kg/m2 were accepted as obese group (Group 3).
Results: Mean BMIs - AaCs in Group 1, 2, and 3 were found to be 22.3 ± 1.6 - 254 ± 597 AU, 27.4 ± 1.4 - 244.5 ± 496.7 AU, 33.4 ± 2.6 - 368.2 ± 604.5 AU, respectively.
Conclusions: According to correlation analysis, no significant correlation was observed between BMI and AaCs in these subgroups.

ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışmada, multidedektörlü BT (MDBT) ile ölçülmüş abdominal aort aterosklerozu ve vücut kitle indeksi arasında olası ilişki araştırıldı.
Yöntem: Çalışmamız kliniğimizde temmuz 2013 ve ocak 2014 tarihleri arasında kontrassız abdominal BT çekilen 228 kişiyi içermektedir. BT aksiyel kesitlerde çöliyak trunkus ve iliak bifurkasyon arasında abdominal aort kalsifik plaklarının kalsiyum skorları (AaCs) Agatston üniti (a.u) olarak ölçüldü Tüm hastalarımızın abdominal BT çekim sonrasında, boy (İnsan baskülü, NAN TARTI AŞ, Türkiye) ve kiloları (TANITA Body Composition Analyzer, TANITA Corporation, Japan) ölçüldü. Vücut kitle indeksleri hesaplandı. BMI’i 25 kilogram (kg)/metrekare (m2) nin altında olanlar (BMI<25 kg/m2) normal kilolu (Grup 1), 25 kg/m2 ile 29,9 kg/m2 arasında olanlar (25 kg/m2 ≤BMI<29,9 kg/m2) aşırı kilolu (Grup 2), 30 kg/m2 ve üstünde olanlar (30 kg/m2≤ BMI) obez (Grup 3) kabul edildi.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan tüm bireylerin yaş dağılımı; minimum(min) 20 yıl (y), maksimum(max) 87 yıldır (ortalama ± standart sapma 44,1 ± 14,2 y). Bu kişilerin 150’si (%65,8) erkek, 78’i (%34,2) kadındır. Çalışmaya katılanlar arasında; Aortik kalsiyum skoru (AaCs) min 0 au, max 2201 au (ortalama ± standart sapma 286,3 ± 561,5), BMI min 18, max 41 (ortalama ± standart sapma 27,9 ± 4,7) olarak tespit edildi.
Sonuç: BMI grupları ile AaCs arasında korelasyon analizi yapıldı. Anlamlı ilişki tespit edilmedi (Grafik 1).
