Implication

Cross-sectional survey assesses cardiometabolic risk and cardiovascular disease in Appalachian adults, suggesting important implications for health interventions.

Key Points

This research investigates the relationships between obesity, cardiometabolic abnormalities, and cardiovascular disease in Appalachian adults.
Cross-sectional survey conducted in 6 communities in Ohio and West Virginia
Included 14,783 adults aged 18 and older
Categorization of BMI and assessment of various cardiometabolic abnormalities.
25.6% of normal-weight adults had ≥2 cardiometabolic abnormalities; 36.8% of overweight/obese displayed none.
Odds ratio for CVD was 1.06 among overweight/obese without clustering (95% CI 0.84–1.34).
Odds ratio for CVD was 2.45 among overweight/obese with clustering (95% CI 2.02–2.97).
