Why the study?
Little is known about the association between body composition indicators—such as lean mass index, fat mass index, and visceral fat level—and ambulatory blood pressure among youths.
Are body composition indicators (lean mass index, fat mass index, visceral fat level) associated with abnormal ambulatory blood pressure in Chinese youths?
Population
477 college students aged 17 to 28 years old from a university in Changsha, China
Comparison
Body composition indicators including lean mass index, fat mass index, and visceral fat level
Design
Cross-sectional observational study

Body composition-ABP associations in youths are hypothesis-generating; prospective studies needed before informing risk assessment or practice.
Are body composition indicators (lean mass index, fat mass index, visceral fat level) associated with abnormal ambulatory blood pressure in Chinese youths?
Higher lean mass index, fat mass index, and visceral fat levels are associated with an increased risk of abnormal ambulatory blood pressure in Chinese youths.
Mao et al. (2024) studied this question.
