Investigates metabolic obesity phenotypes' effects on cardiovascular disease risk in middle-aged and elderly Chinese individuals, highlighting health implications.
Key Points
This research aims to examine how different obesity phenotypes affect the risk of cardiovascular disease in a specific demographic.
Utilized longitudinal data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS).
Applied weighted logistic regression, Poisson regression, and restricted cubic spline models to evaluate associations.
Classified individuals based on body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) to assess CVD risk.
Incident cardiovascular disease differed significantly across metabolic obesity phenotypes (p<0.001).
