Key result
Central obesity is an independent risk factor for ischemic heart disease in Chinese adults, with the risk increasing as waist circumference increases.
Why the study?
Does central obesity increase the risk of ischemic heart disease in adults in China?
Does central obesity increase the risk of ischemic heart disease in adults in China?
This prospective study confirms that central obesity, measured by waist circumference, is an independent risk factor for ischemic heart disease in Chinese adults.
May inform risk stratification by waist circumference in Chinese adults; extends evidence but remains hypothesis-generating.
This large-scale prospective study revealed that central obesity was an independent risk factor for IHD in adults in China, and the risk of IHD would increase with the increase of waist circumference.
