Changes in BMI Before and During Economic Development and Subsequent Risk of Cardiovascular Disease and Total Mortality: A 35-Year Follow-up Study in China

Abstract: OBJECTIVEIt is unclear whether changes in BMI during rapid economic development influence subsequent mortality. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSWe analyzed whether BMI in 1976 and 1994 and changes in BMI during 1976-1994 predict cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in a 35-year follow-up cohort of 1,696 Chinese (1,124 men and 572 women, aged 35-65 years) in Xi'an, China. Participants were categorized as underweight (<18.5 kg/m 2 ), normal weight (18.5-24.9 kg/m 2 ), and overweight ( ‡25.0 kg/m 2 ). … Show more

“…Similarly, no significant (p>0.05) association between health status (MI yes-no) and body mass index (high and low) negates the established association between the BMI and CVDs. [18][19][20][21] No significant association between BMI and CVDs also identifies BMI as a poor predictor of health status and its cut-off values for categorization of individuals into underweight, normal, overweight and obesity and applicability among different races and ethnic groups has been questioned seriously. 22 However, the difference in mean anthropometric results and association between different categorical variables across different countries could be attributed to differences in genetic and environmental factors that influence the relationships between different variables.…”

“…Standing height and weight were measured using a manufactured instrument, and the body mass index (BMI) was calculated by dividing the body weight by the height (in kg/m 2 ). Participants with a BMI <18.5 kg/m 2 were categorized as underweight [29]. Respondents were asked to report whether they had been diagnosed and treated by a doctor for any specific medical conditions.…”
