Cardiovascular Risk Factors Emerging in Chinese Populations Undergoing Urbanization.

Abstract: In this assessment of cardiovascular risk factors, we examined the association between dietary habits and blood pressure (BP) according to the World Health Organization (WHO) CARDIAC Study protocols in three Chinese populations aged 47-57 in Guangzhou prefecture (GZ group; 141 males, 158 females), Guiyang prefecture (GY group; 101 males, 103 females) and Taiwan (TW group; 102 males, 98 females). The same survey was repeated 10 yr later in the GY group to follow-up the past trends (MONALISA study). The observed… Show more

“…Secondly, as compared with our previous studies carried out in 10 Chinese cities (2,3,5), the mean BMI increased markedly, from 21.5 kg/m 2 in 1985 to 23.0 kg/m 2 in 2000. A similar trend of increasing BMI was reported in our comparison studies among population samples in Taiwan, Guangzhou and Guying (6). The present results emphasized again that an increasing mean BMI in the Chinese population should be of serious concern, since increased BMI is strongly associated with high blood pressure and other diseases, including coronary heart disease, diabetes, etc.…”

“…Since 1985, we have being working on the Japan-China Cooperative Research Project, as part of the World Health Organization (WHO) Cardiovascular Diseases and Alimentary Comparison (CARDIAC) Study, in 12 cooperative centers in China (1)(2)(3). Several important findings were reported in our previous studies (2,3,(5)(6)(7). Accordingly, in the year 2000 we extended our study and set up a new cooperative center in Chongqing, China.…”

“…Influence of migration on cardiovascular risks among the women has not been well studied, and most of the studies among migrant populations in low-income countries have focused on changing cardiovascular risk factors in men. The Kenyan Luo Migrant Study,16 Cameroonian Study,15 Chinese Yi Migrant Study,14 INTERSALT Study8 as well as recent studies in India19 and Peru20 have mainly focused on migrant groups or men and have not specifically looked at male–female differences. We performed an epidemiological study in Indian women in rural and urban locations at multiple sites 21.…”

“…This dietary protein-BP association was stronger in men than in women, but the coefficients in both genders appeared to be fairly small (ranging from 0.014 to 0.03). This small association may be explained in part by the potential competition risks of multi-factorial effect on BP, such as the associations of BP with salt intake, body mass index, potassium, calcium etc., which have been confirmed to have strong effect on BP in several studies (7,10,13,(26)(27)(28). However, if we consider the long-term effect of such an association and its inter-relation with other factors, a small but significant protein-BP association might play an important role in regulating BP.…”
