Association between weight-adjusted waist index and arterial stiffness in hypertensive patients: The China H-type hypertension registry study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Exploring the relationship between (weight-adjusted waist index) WWI and arterial stiffness (AS) in the total and different BMI populations among patients with hypertension.

Methods

This study enrolled 5232 hypertensive subjects, a subset of the China H-type Hypertension Registry Study. WWI was calculated as WC (cm) divided by the square root of weight (kg). Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) was measured to determine AS.

Results

The mean WWI was 10.97 (0.78)cm/√kg. In multiple logistic analyses showed that there were significant dose-dependent association between WWI with baPWV in a dose-dependent manner in total population (β 57.98, 95% CI 44.06-71.90), and in different BMI group: group 1 (BMI<18.5kg/m²) (β 94.30, 95% CI 39.36-149.23), g
