Body mass index trajectory across childhood and subsequent risk of elevated blood pressure

Abstract: We investigated the relationship between the body mass index (BMI) trajectory across childhood and the subsequent occurrence of elevated blood pressure (BP) in the Chinese pediatric population. The study cohort from the China Health and Nutrition Survey comprised 1484 children, each of whom underwent three BP and BMI assessments during childhood and had a non-elevated BP during the first childhood assessment. A group-based trajectory model was used to identify four distinct BMI trajectories across childhood: l… Show more

“…Millions of deaths can be ascribed to obesity worldwide [3,4]. Fat mass is a direct indicator for evaluating obesity, and obesity has trajectory effects [5], and longitudinal mixed-effects and latent growth curve models are commonly used to characterize changes in body mass index (BMI) and their relationships with subsequent outcomes [6][7][8][9][10]. Excessive fat mass has an adverse effect on cardiometabolic risk factors.…”

“…However, a large-sample multi-center study showed that the blood pressure trajectory of women exhibited a steeper increase than did that of men [ 21 ]. BMI was an important modifiable factor associated with high blood pressure trajectory [ 22 ]. Participants can reduce the risk of high blood pressure trajectory by lowering their BMI.…”

“…We used a censored normal model to fit the longitudinal data on the number of cigarettes smoked per day with a polynomial function of age. We determined the best‐fitting model using the following criteria: (1) statistical significance for the highest polynomial of age ( P < .05); (2) a large negative value for the Bayesian Information Criteria; (3) mean posterior probability > 0.7; (4) the sample size of each group accounting for > 1% of the total number of participants; and (5) interpretable results with public health implications 23,24 . For men, the best‐fitting model had four trajectories and a quadratic function of age (Table S2), with the groups labeled as “non‐smoking,” “light smoking”, “moderate smoking”, and “heavy smoking” (Figure S2).…”
