Overview

High HTN prevalence warrants vigilance in elderly Chinese; cross-sectional data leaves open causal roles of anthropometric indices.

Structured PICO

Are anthropometric indices associated with hypertension in elderly Chinese people?

P
Population
944,760 people aged 65 years and older from Jiangsu Province, China
I
Intervention
Anthropometric indices (body weight, BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio, conicity index, body roundness index, and a body shape index)
O
Outcome
Prevalence of hypertension and its association with anthropometric indices

Multiple anthropometric indices, including BMI, waist circumference, and body roundness index, are significantly associated with hypertension in elderly Chinese individuals.
