ABSTRACT
Objective To study the association of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) with dyslipidemia and the risk of dyslipidemia at different BMI and WC level among adults in Suzhou Industrial Park District. Methods A total of 6219 participants were chosen by stratified random cluster sampling method. Four streets were selected form the district first, then one community as a cluster was selected randomly from each street. Questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory tests were done by all subjects. Results The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 35.9％;the rates of overweight, obesity and central obesity were 36.6％, 9.6％ and 49.5％ respectively. The prevalence of dyslipidemia in underweight group, normal weight group, overweight group and obesity group were 13.6％, 30.2％, 47.7％and 59.0％ for male, and 17.2％, 27.3％, 38.6％和 48.8％ for female respectively. The prevalence of dyslipidemia for male and female both rose with BMI (χ2=139.848, P0.05). Conclusions BMI, waist circumference and dyslipidemia were closely correlated. Waist circumference is more important than BMI for female.
