Objective: To evaluate the association between waist-to-height-ratio (WHtR) and anxiety in middle age women adjusted by demographic, clinical and habits variables. Methods: We carried out a secondary analysis of data from a multicenter study of women between 40 and 59 years old from 11 Latin America countries. Anxiety was assessed using the Goldberg Anxiety and Depression Scale. WHtR was calculated according World Health Organization standards and was categorized in tertiles: superior, intermediate and inferior with cut points of 0.45 y 0.6; respectively. We calculate prevalence ratios with confidence interval 95% (PR: 95%CI) by generalized linear models of Poisson family with robust standard errors both crude and adjusted models based on statistical and epidemiological criteria. Results: A total of 5580 women were analyzed. The mean age was 49.7±5.5, and 57.9% were postmenopausal. The 61.3% of women had anxiety and WHtR mean was 0.54 ± 0.1. Compared with the women in inferior tertile, the people in the intermediate (PR: 1.07; 95%CI: 1.01-1.13) and superior (PR: 1.23 95%CI: 1.07-1.29) ICT tertile were significantly more likely to have anxiety at the crude model. However, in the adjusted models only women in superior tertil had more probability of anxiety than those in inferior tertile (PR: 1.13 95%CI: 1.08-1.18). Conclusion: In this series, WHtR was associated with anxiety in middle-aged women. It is advisable to incorporate this anthropometric measure in routine clinical practice of climacteric women evaluation.
