societies. Therefore, the purpose
of this study was to determine the waist circumference values of Turkish adults
people for 19-75 year. 


Material and Method: A total of 25.866 (11484
females and 14382 males) adult participants were recruited, grouped into
categories of waist circumference in accordance with the World Health
Organizasion cutoffs. Waist circumference
was measured with a tape measure according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization.


 Results:
It was found that waist circumference values varied at
certain age ranges. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant
relationship between the age variable and waist circumference values for male (r=.441) and female (r=.444) adults. It was determined
that 87.91% of the male adults participating were to have normal
values and 12.08% of them were to have higher risks of obesity related to the
diseases, and 65.86% of female participants
were to have normal values and 34.14% of them were to have had higher risk of
obesity related diseases.




























Conclusions:
The use waist circumference for the prediction of
risk factor clustering among adults has significant clinical utility. These analyses should be continued in future studies in order
to examine both health and reference values between societies.
