Association between Anthropometric Measures and Indicators for Hypertension Control among Kazakh-Chinese Hypertension Patients in Xinjiang, China: Results from a Cross-sectional Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Among Kazakh-Chinese population in Xinjiang province of China, prevalence of obesity and hypertension were 40.1% and 50.3% respectively, the highest across all ethnic groups residing in this pastureland. Despite this, there remained a dearth of information regarding the association between the anthropometric measures [body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR), Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) etc.] and indicators for hypertension control [achieved levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP and DBP), pulse pressure index (PPI), ankle-brachial index (ABI) etc.] among them.

Method

A cross-sectional study was conducted in Xinjiang to determine the distribution and inter-relationships of the anthropometric measures and indicators for achieved BP control as well as their predictors among hypertension patients of Kazakh-Chinese ethnicity. Out of 550 randomly selected patients, 516 completed the interview, anthropometry and BP assessments.

Results

In the sample population, average SBP, DBP and PP were 156.26±24.40mmHg, 87.55±14.73mmHg and 68.71±19.39mmHg respectively. Bivariate analysis identified age, gender, education, duration of hypertension, WC and BMI being factors influencing the achieved levels of BP. Adjusted multiple linear regression models elicited positive associations of age (?a = 0.152, p = 0.001) and duration of hypertension (?a = 0.132, p = 0.003) with achieved level of SBP as well as BMI (?a = 0.135, p = 0.002) with DBP. Age (?a = 0.207, p<0.001) and WHtR (?a = 0.304, p = 0.005) were positively and WC (?a = -0.406, p<0.001) was negatively associated with PPI. Increasing age (?a = -0.125, p = 0.005), female gender (?a = -0.122, p = 0.005) and 5years' duration of hypertension (?a = -0.091, p<0.039) were negatively associated with ABI. After adjustment for socio-demographic variables, hypertensive patients with (reference = without) abdominal obesity had 93% (p = 0.013) higher odds of missing the target BP control.

Conclusion

Anthropometric measures and indicators for blood pressure control among Kazakh-Chinese patients were far beyond normal. Several anthropometric measures appeared useful for monitoring BP. Using them, regular screening and consequent targeted intervention were required urgently to control hypertension among Kazakh-Chinese.

Project description:ObjectiveTo identify associations between anthropometric indicators (height, weight and body mass index (BMI)) and both refraction and ocular biometrics in Chinese schoolchildren in Tianjin, China.DesignCross-sectional study.ParticipantsA total of 482 (86.07%) students (6-15 years old) with no history of ocular or systemic pathologies were enrolled in this study.MethodologyHeight and weight were measured using standardised protocols. Ocular biometrics (axial length (AL), vitreous chamber depth (VCD) and corneal curvature (CC)) were measured by a low-coherence optical reflectometry device. Cycloplegic refraction was measured using autorefraction. The AL/CC ratio and spherical equivalent refraction (SER) were calculated. Myopia was defined as SER ≤-0.50 dioptres (D). Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to explore the associations between anthropometric indicators (height, weight and BMI) and both refraction and ocular biometrics.ResultsThe overall prevalence of myopia was 71.16%. Overall, only height was associated with ALs, VCDs, AL/CC ratios and refractions after controlling for age, gender, parental myopia, family income, reading and writing distance and time spent outdoors. Furthermore, age-specific results demonstrated that height and weight were independently associated with refraction in participants aged 6-8 years and 9-11 years participants. Higher heights in schoolchildren were associated with longer ALs (regression coefficient b=+0.25 for each 10 cm difference in height, p<0.01), deeper VCDs (b=+0.23, p<0.01), higher AL/CC ratios (b=+0.04, p<0.01) and more negative refractions (b=-0.48, p<0.01). Heavier weights were also associated with longer ALs (+0.29 mm, p<0.01), deeper VCDs (+0.29 mm, p<0.01), higher AL/CC ratios (+0.04, p<0.01) and more negative refractions (-0.48 D, p<0.01).ConclusionsHeight and weight remained independently related to refraction and various ocular biometrics during the early adolescent growth period after adequately controlling for covariates, which could support the idea that a shared mechanism may regulate the coordinated growth of body and eye size in children.

Project description:BackgroundMetabolic syndrome (MetS), a condition of metabolic disorders, is now causing large disease burden around the world. This study aimed to update the prevalence of MetS in Jiangsu Province of China and evaluate the predicting value of five anthropometric measures including waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), a body shape index (ABSI) and body roundness index (BRI) in MetS.Methods8040 participants from 12 survey sites were enrolled into this cross-sectional study by multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method from 2014 nutrition and diet investigation project in Jiangsu Province. The transformation of sex-specific z-score made the comparison meaningful when conducting the logistic analysis between anthropometric indices and MetS. The abilities of anthropometric indices to predict MetS were evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Delong test was applied to compare area under different ROC curves.ResultsThe prevalence of MetS in Jiangsu Province was 35.2% and the standardized prevalence was 34.8%. WC, BMI, WHtR, ABSI and BRI z-scores were positively related to MetS and its components. WC, WHtR and BRI z-score had stronger associations with MetS than BMI and ABSI in both male and female population. WC, WHtR and BRI had larger area under ROC curve than BMI and ABSI in male and female. WC in men had the largest area under the ROC curve, significantly higher than the other four measures of BMI, WHtR, ABSI and BRI (Z value?=?9.08, 2.88, 16.73, 2.75 respectively). Among women, WC, WHtR and BRI had larger area under the ROC curve than BMI and ABSI, but the area under the WC, WHtR and BRI curve were not significantly different after the pairwise comparison by the Delong test. The optimal cut-off values of WC, WHtR and BRI for predicting MetS was 85.25?cm, 0.52 and 3.61 in male, 80.05?cm, 0.51 and 3.83 in female.ConclusionMetS has become one of the major chronic diseases in Jiangsu Province. WC was better than other four indices in predicting MetS among male population in Jiangsu. WC, WHtR and BRI had superior abilities than BMI/ABSI in predicting MetS among female population.

Project description:BackgroundTo determine the optimal cut-off values and evaluate the associations of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist-height ratio (WHtR) with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors.MethodsA large-scale cross-sectional survey was conducted among 35,256 adults aged 20-74?years in Shanghai between June 2016 and December 2017. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were conducted to assess the optimal cut-off anthropometric indices of CVD risk factors including hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia and hyperuricemia. Multivariate Logistic regression models were preformed to evaluate the odds ratio of CVD risk factors.ResultsThe area under the curve (AUC) of WHtR was significantly greater than that of BMI or WC in the prediction of hypertension and diabetes, and AUCs were higher in women than men. The optimal cut-off values of WHtR were approximately 0.51 in both sexes, while the cut-off values of BMI and WC were higher for men compared with women. The optimal cutoff values of BMI and WC varied greatly across different age groups, but the difference in WHtR was relatively slight. Among women, the optimal threshold of anthropometric indices appeared to increase with age for hypertension and diabetes. The odds ratio between anthropometric indices and CVD risk factors were attenuated with age. WHtR had the greatest odds ratio for CVD risk factors among adults under 60?years old except for women with hypertension, while among 60-74?years, BMI yielded the greatest odds ratio in terms of all CVD outcomes except for women with diabetes.ConclusionsWHtR had the best performance for discriminating hypertension and diabetes and potentially be served as a standard screening tool in public health. The associations between three anthropometric indices and CVD risk factors differed by sex and decreased with age. These findings indicated a need to develop age- and gender-specific difference and make effective strategies for primary prevention of CVDs.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Cardiovascular benefits by reversing environmental risks factors for essential hypertension (EH) and dyslipidemia could be weaken by high genetic risk. We investigated possible associations between ACE2 polymorphisms and dyslipidemia in patients with EH. METHODS:Four hundred and two hypertensive patients were enrolled in an EH group and 233 normotensive individuals were enrolled as control group from the Xinjiang region of China. Fourteen ACE2 polymorphisms were genotyped by Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. RESULTS:Participants carrying T allele (TT?+?CT) of rs2074192 (P?=?0.006), rs4646155 (P?=?0.030) and rs4646188 (P?<?0.001), C allele (CT?+?CT or CC?+?CG) of rs4240157 (P?=?0.012), rs4830542 (P?=?0.020) and rs879922 (P?<?0.001) and TT genotype of rs2106809 (P?=?0.012) were associated with EH. Meanwhile,ACE2 SNPs also exhibited association with dyslipidemia but exhibited obvious heterogeneity. rs1978124 (TT?+?CT, P?=?0.009), rs2106809 (TT, P?=?0.045), rs233575 (CC?+?CT, P?=?0.018), rs4646188 (CC, P?=?0.011) and rs879922 (CC?+?CG, P?=?0.003) were association with increased LDL-C (?1.8 mmol/L). rs2106809 (CC?+?CT, P?<?0.001), rs2285666(TT?+?CT, P?=?0.017), rs4646142(CC?+?CG, P?=?0.044), rs4646155(TT?+?CT, P?<?0.001) and rs4646188(TT?+?CT, P?=?0.033) were association with decreased HDL-C (<?1.0 mmol/L). rs2074192 (TT?+?CT, P?=?0.012), rs4240157 (CC?+?CT, P?=?0.027), rs4646156 (AA+AT, P?=?0.007), rs4646188 (TT?+?CT, P?=?0.005), rs4830542 (CC?+?CT, P?=?0.047) and rs879922 (CC?+?CG, P?=?0.001) were association with increased TC (?5.2 mmol/L). rs2106809 (P?=?0.034) and rs4646188 (P?=?0.013) were associated with hypertriglyceridemia. Further, ischemic stroke was more prevalent with rs4240157 (CC?+?CT, P?=?0.043), rs4646188 (CC?+?CT, P?=?0.013) and rs4830542 (CC?+?CT, P?=?0.037). In addition, rs2048683 and rs6632677 were not association with EH, dyslipidemia and ischemic stroke. CONCLUSION:The ACE2 rs4646188 variant may be a potential and optimal genetic susceptibility marker for EH, dyslipidemia and its related ischemic stroke.
