Abstract

To identify anthropometrical indices of body fat distribution for predicting the risk of hypertension and diabetes, a population-based prospective study was designed. Subjects in two communities (n = 2,422 and 3,195), who were free of hypertension and diabetes, respectively, were followed-up. The area and gender-specific risk of hypertension and diabetes were compared among tertiles of body mass index (BMI) and body fat distribution, including waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), and subscapular skinfold-thickness (SSF). During the 10-year follow-up for hypertension and diabetes, the incident cases of hypertension were 72 for Yao men, 125 for Kyowa men, 160 for Yao women and 193 for Kyowa women and those of diabetes were 27, 64, 37 and 77, respectively. One SD differences in BMI and WC were associated with 1.2 to 1.6-fold higher risk of hypertension, and that of SSF was associated with 1.4 to 1.6-fold higher risk of diabetes for both men and women in Yao and for women, but not men, in Kyowa. One SD differences of BMI, WC and WHtR were also associated with 1.4 to 2.0-fold higher risk of diabetes for Yao and Kyowa women. In conclusion, the significant predictors for hypertension were B...Continue Reading
