Key result
Higher A Body Shape Index (ABSI) was significantly associated with an increased risk of hypertension (OR 1.15).
Why the study?
To explore the correlation between obesity-related indices and hypertension, and their predictive ability, to provide new insights for disease prevention and treatment.
Do obesity-related indices such as ABSI, BRI, and WC/BRI predict the risk of hypertension in adults?
Case-Control (n=160)
No
Do obesity-related indices such as ABSI, BRI, and WC/BRI predict the risk of hypertension in adults?
Odds Ratio: 1.15 (95% CI 1.06–1.28)
p-value: p=0.014
Obesity-related indices such as ABSI, BRI, and WC/BRI are independent risk factors for hypertension and may be useful for predicting hypertension risk.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Obesity indices may associate with hypertension risk; leaves open added predictive value pending prospective validation.
Guangyi Zhao (2024) conducted a case-control in Hypertension (n=160). A Body Shape Index (ABSI) vs. Lower ABSI was evaluated on Presence of hypertension (OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.06-1.28, p=0.014). Higher A Body Shape Index (ABSI) was significantly associated with an increased risk of hypertension (OR 1.15).
