Associations of General and Central Adiposity With Incident Diabetes in Chinese Men and Women.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We assess associations of general and central adiposity in middle age and of young adulthood adiposity with incident diabetes in adult Chinese and estimate the associated population burden of diabetes.

Research design and methods

The prospective China Kadoorie Biobank enrolled 512,891 adults 30-79 years of age from 10 localities across China during 2004-2008. During 9.2 years of follow-up, 13,416 cases of diabetes were recorded among 482,589 participants without diabetes at baseline. Cox regression yielded adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for incident diabetes associated with measures of general (e.g., BMI and BMI at 25 years) and central (e.g., waist circumference [WC]) adiposity.

Results

The mean (SD) BMI was 23.6 kg/m² (3.4 kg/m²), and 3.8% had a BMI ≥30 kg/m². Throughout the range examined (19-32 kg/m²), BMI showed a positive log-linear relationship with diabetes, with adjusted HRs per SD higher usual BMI greater in men (1.98; 95% CI 1.93-2.04) than in women (1.77; 1.73-1.81) (P for heterogeneity <0.001). For WC, HRs per SD were 2.13 (95% CI 2.07-2.19) in men and 1.91 (1.87-1.95) in women (P for heterogeneity <0.001). Mutual adjustment attenuated these associations, especially those of BMI. BMI at age 25 years was weakly positively associated with diabetes (men HR 1.09 [95% CI 1.05-1.12]; women 1.04 [1.02-1.07] per SD), which was reversed after adjustment for baseline BMI. In China, the increase in adiposity accounted for ∼50% of the increase in diabetes burden since 1980.

Conclusions

Among relatively lean Chinese adults, higher adiposity-general and central-was strongly positively associated with the risk of incident diabetes. The predicted continuing increase in adiposity in China foreshadows escalating rates of diabetes.

Project description:BackgroundObesity is a well-known risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Studies have shown that the Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI), a novel visceral adiposity indicator, is positive associated with the risk of T2DM in the Chinese population. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between CVAI and incident T2DM in a Japanese population.MethodsWe performed a secondary analysis of open-access data from a retrospective cohort study. This study included 15,464 participants who received regular medical examinations at Murakami Memorial Hospital. All participants underwent a questionnaire survey, physical examination, and blood biochemical testing at baseline. The main outcome was new-onset T2DM during follow-up. Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier analysis were used to analyze the risk of CVAI on T2DM, and we conducted smooth curve fitting. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to assess the predictive value of CVAI, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC) for incident T2DM.ResultsDuring a median follow-up time of 5.39 years, 373 new-onset T2DM events were observed. Kaplan-Meier curves showed that the incidence of T2DM increased as the CVAI increased (log-rank χ 2 = 187.1076 and 129.6067 in males and females, respectively, both P <0.001). After adjustment for covariates, per 1 increase of CVAI was associated with a 1.0133-fold and 1.0246-fold higher risk of incident T2DM in males and females, respectively (both P <0.001). Those individuals in the top CVAI quartile group had the highest risk of new-onset T2DM (HR = 3.1568 and 5.8415 in males and females, respectively, both P <0.05). A nonlinear relationship was identified by the smooth fitting curve between CVAI and T2DM events in both genders. ROC analysis indicated that CVAI had better predictive power than BMI and WC in both genders.ConclusionOur results demonstrate that CVAI was significantly associated with an increased risk of new-onset T2DM in Japanese adults.
