Correlation Research of Waist Circumference and Blood Pressure,Glucose and Lipid in Adults

Objective:To investigate the interactions among waist circumference,blood pressure,blood glucose and blood lipid,and define the waist circumference cut-off values for prediction of hypertension,hyperglycemia and hyperlipoidemia which provide important reference for abdominal obesity standards.Method:952 adults from E university in Shanghai are taken for health examination,the indexes include waist circumference,blood pressure,blood glucose and blood lipid etc.,then the correlations among waist circumference,blood pressure,blood glucose and blood lipid will be further analyzed and discussed.Result:The status of waist circumference,blood pressure,blood glucose and blood lipid of non-abdominal obesity group are better than that of abdominal obesity group,and the differences has a statistically significant.The waist circumference cut-off values for prediction of abdominal obesity are 89～90cm(72.5th-77.5th percentile) for men and 76～77cm(65th-75th percentile) for women by drawing ROC curve.Conclusion:Asians abdominal obesity standards suggested by WHO are also suitable for the subject.Age is an important effect factor of waist circumference,even for the adult,so it is necessary to take age into consideration for confirming abdominal obesity standards.
