Abstract
- Background Little is known about the association between weight changes and adverse health outcomes among Chinese adults. Methods A total of 1715 Chinese adults, 45–60 years of age, have been recruited to participate in the Hefei Nutrition and Health Study started in 2012. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the association of weight changes since age 20 (loss ≥5.0 kg; maintain [±4.9 kg]; gain 5.0–9.9 kg; gain ≥10.0 kg) with cardiovascular risk factors. Results Men who gained 10.0 kg or more had increased risks of hypertension (odds ratios (OR) = 3.07; 95% CI: 1.98–4.76), impaired fasting glucose (OR = 1.74; 95% CI: 1.02–2.97), reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels (OR = 2.77; 95% CI: 1.42–5.40) and elevated triglyceride levels (OR = 5.72; 95% CI: 2.94–11.12). Women who gained 10.0 kg or more had increased risks of hypertension, elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and elevated triglycerides levels of 2.01(95% CI: 1.18–3.42), 3.40 (95% CI: 1.18–9.82) and 5.60 (95% CI: 1.59–19.61), respectively. Conclusion Weight gain during adulthood was associated with increased risks of high triglycerides, hypertension, impaired fasting glucose and risk of reduced HDL cholesterol in men. Furthermore, weight gain was a predictor of high-risk triglycerides, hypertension and elevated LDL cholesterol in women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
