Relationship Between Body Weight Changes From Early Adulthood to Middle Age and the Prevalence of Hypertriglyceridemia by Large-scale Cardiovascular Risk Factor Investigation / 中国循环杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the relationship between body weight changes from early adulthood to middle age and the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia by large-scale cardiovascular risk factor investigation. Methods: A total of 15 population groups from China multi-center collaborative study of cardiovascular epidemiology in 1998 were enrolled. There were approximately 1000 participants in each group including 50% of each male and female at the age of (35-59) years which was deifned as middle age. The participants were surveyed for cardiovascular risk factors including the body weight and body mass index (BMI) at the age of 25 years which was deifned as early adulthood. The participants were divided into 4 groups based on BMI at early adulthood Low body weight group, BMI 12.5 kg. The relationship between body weight status at 25 years of age with subsequent changes and the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia were investigated. Results: A total of 13883 participants finished the investigation.①The prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia by 4 BMI groups were at 22.8%, 26.0%, 27.4% and 30.8% respectively (the trend ofP Conclusion: Overweight and obesity in early adulthood with subsequent weight gain were independently related to the risk of hypertriglyceridemia at the middle age in our survey.
