Relationship between obesity indicators and hypertension-diabetes comorbidity among adults: a population study from Central China.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify the relationship between obesity indicators and hypertension-diabetes comorbidity (HDC) among adults in central China.

Design and setting

A cross-sectional study was conducted from 1 June 2015 to 30 September 2018 in 11 districts of Hubei Province, China.

Participants

A total of 29 396 participants aged 18 years or above were enrolled in the study. 2083 subjects with missing data were excluded. Eventually, 25 356 participants were available for the present analysis.

Main outcome measures

Data were subjected to univariable and multivariable logistic regression to examine the association between obesity indicators (body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR)) and HDC prevalence. Crude odds ratio and adjusted OR (AOR) with associated 95% CI were calculated.

Results

Overall, 2.8% of the respondents had HDC. The odds of HDC prevalence increased with the BMI of the participants (18.5≤BMI (kg/m²)≤23.9-1; 24≤BMI (kg/m²)≤26.9-AOR: 5.66, 95% CI: 4.25 to 7.55; BMI (kg/m²)≥27-AOR: 7.96, 95% CI: 5.83 to 10.87). The risk of HDC also increased with the WHtR of participants (WHtR≤P₂₅-1; P₂₅≤WHtR≤P₅₀-AOR: 1.73, 95% CI: 1.10 to 2.71; P₅₀ ≤WHtR≤P₇₅-AOR: 2.51, 95% CI: 1.60 to 3.92; WHtR≥P₇₅-AOR: 3.22, 95% CI: 2.01 to 5.16). Stratified analysis by gender showed that high BMI and WHtR were risk factors of HDC in males and females. However, the odds of HDC prevalence increased only when WHtR≥P₇₅ in males, whereas the probability of HDC increased when WHtR≥ P₂₅ in females.

Conclusion

High BMI and WHtR can increase the risk of HDC among Chinese adults. Reasonable control of BMI and WHtR may be beneficial in preventing HDC. Females should focus on maintaining an optimal WHtR earlier.

Project description:BackgroundThe prevalence of obesity, hypertension and diabetes is increasing. Hypertension and diabetes are common complications. Additionally, obesity and hypertension-diabetes comorbidity (HDC) are both closely related to insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to determine the association of obesity indicators with HDC in elderly individuals.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study included 74,955 subjects aged ≥ 60 years living in Xinzheng, Henan Province, from January 2011 to December 2019. The data were collected from the annual health examination dataset. Cox proportional hazard regression models and competing-risk survival regression models were used to examine the relationships between the three indicators and HDC risk.ResultsAfter 346,504 person-years of follow-up, HDC developed in 9,647 subjects. After further adjustments for confounders and death competing risks, compared with a body mass index (BMI) of 18.5-23.9 kg/m2, the fully adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of BMI < 18.5, 24-27.9 and ≥ 28 kg/m2 for HDC morbidity were 0.651(0.538,0.788),1.00,1.396(1.336,1.459) and 1.769(1.666,1.878), respectively. Moreover, participants with abdominal obesity measured via waist circumference (WC) or waist-to-height ratio (WtHR) had a higher risk of HDC (HR:1.513; 95% CI: 1.45,1.578 and HR:1.412;95% CI: 1.353,1.473), respectively, than participants with low WC or with low WtHR. In the joint analyses, the highest risk was observed in participants who were overweight and who had central obesity (HR: 1.721; 95% CI: 1.635, 1.811) compared with the nonoverweight and noncentral obesity groups.ConclusionsIncreased BMI, WC and WtHR were associated with an increased risk of HDC. There was an additive interaction between general body adiposity (as measured via BMI) and central obesity (as measured via WC and WtHR) for HDC. Therefore, reasonable control of BMI, WC and WtHR may be an effective measure to prevent HDC among elderly individuals.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The relationship between obesity and hypertension varies with geographical area, race and definitions of obesity. Our study aimed to investigate the prevalence of obesity using standard Chinese criteria based on the body mass index (BMI) and the waist circumference (WC) and to examine the association between obesity and hypertension among middle-aged and elderly people in Jinan city. METHODS: This cross-sectional study examined 1,870 subjects from the blocks randomly selected from among the 6 communities of Jinan, China in 2011-2012. The Student's t-test was used to compare numerical data, and the χ2 test was used to compare categorical data. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the effects of general and central obesity on hypertension after adjusting for age or for education level, smoking, alcohol consumption, and continuous age. RESULTS: The prevalence of general obesity among people age 50 years and older was 21.1% (17.0% for males and 23.1% for females), and the prevalence of central obesity was 77.8% for men and 78.7% for women. For men, compared with a normal BMI, the ORs and 95% CIs for overweight and general obesity were 1.853 (1.252, 2.744) and 3.422 (1.894, 6.182), respectively, after adjusting for age, smoking, alcohol consumption and educational level. Compared with a normal WC, the ORs and 95% CIs for central obesity were 2.334 (1.573, 3.465) and 2.318 (1.544, 3.479), respectively, for men. For women, compared with a normal BMI, the ORs and 95% CIs were 1.942 (1.473, 2.599) and 4.011 (2.817, 5.712), respectively, after adjusting for age, smoking, alcohol consumption and educational level. Compared with a normal WC, the ORs and 95% CIs for central obesity were 2.488 (1.865, 3.319) and 2.379 (1.773, 3.192), respectively, for women. CONCLUSIONS: The relationship between hypertension and general obesity was stronger than the relationship between hypertension and either overweight or central obesity in both genders.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate the interactive association between obesity with different anthropometry indices and prevalence of hypertension in rural Lanzhou.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted in rural Lanzhou from April to July in 2013. The available information of 1275 rural residents aged more than 35 years was collected with a unified questionnaire and their blood pressure and anthropometry indices were measured in the field. The male-to-female ratio was 1:1.1. A generalized estimate equation (GEE) linear model was used to determine the association between obesity with different indexes and hypertension.ResultsThere was a moderate prevalence of general obesity (~11%) and very high prevalence of central obesity (53.2~67%) among the adults of rural Lanzhou. The prevalence of hypertension approximated 28%. GEE linear models showed that obesity with any one of anthropometry indices was associated significantly with the increased prevalence of hypertension among both males and females. In females, general obesity increased the prevalence of hypertension by 37% (0.37, 95%CI: 0.27,0.47) but in males by 23% (0.23, 95%CI: 0.12,0.35). The hypertensive effect of all central obesity was much lower than that of general obesity but approximately comparable to that of overweight. In addition, the interactions of the classified body mass index (BMI) and central obesity showed that when general obesity or overweight coexisted with any one of central obesity, the prevalence of hypertension was increased significantly, and this effect was a little higher than the corresponding main effect of general obesity or overweight in females but was much higher in males. In addition, general obesity or overweight which did not coexist with central obesity was not significantly associated with the increased prevalence of hypertension, nor were the other situations of central obesity in the normal weight or underweight except for the situation of central obesity with waist-to-hip ratio in the males of normal weight or underweight.ConclusionIn rural Lanzhou, higher BMI had larger associations with the increased prevalence of hypertension than central obesity indices. Only when general obesity or overweight coexisted with central obesity, the prevalence of hypertension was significantly increased. So, central obesity indices should be used jointly with BMI in evaluating the risk of hypertension.

Project description:BackgroundStudies relating obesity to cognition in older people show conflicting results, which may be explained by the choice of obesity indicators.ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between obesity-related indicators and cognitive impairment, especially between different age or gender subgroups, and explore whether obesity-related indicators were related to specific cognitive domains.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study on 1753 participants aged ≥ 60 years (41.0% men; aged 71.36 ± 5.96 years). Obesity-related indicators included body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), calf circumference (CC), waist to hip ratio (WHR), waist to calf circumstance ratio (WCR), fat to fat-free mass ratio (FM/FFM). The Mini-Mental State Examination scale (MMSE) was used to assess cognitive function. Cognitive impairment was defined as a score ≤ 17 for illiterates, ≤ 20 for participants with primary school education, and ≤ 24 for those with junior high school degrees or above. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to estimate multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Restricted cubic splines were used to analyze and visualize the linear relationships.ResultsThe prevalence of cognitive impairment was 18.77%. In the fully adjusted model, CC was negatively associated with cognitive impairment (OR = 0.94, 95% CI: 0.90-0.98). Further analysis showed that CC correlated positively with recall and place orientation. A higher FM/FFM was found to be associated with a higher prevalence of cognitive impairment (OR: 1.44, 95%CI: 0.88-2.35, P for trend = 0.029); this association was notable in women (P for trend = 0.002) and the oldest (P for trend = 0.009), and so did the potential effect of BMI on cognitive impairment (70-80 years: P for trend = 0.011; ≥ 80 years: P for trend = 0.013). No statistically significant association was found between cognitive impairment and WC, WHR, or WCR.ConclusionCC and FM/FFM were associated with cognitive impairment in older people. Future research needs to distinguish the effects of fat and muscle mass on cognitive function, with special attention to different ages and genders.

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.
