ABSTRACT:

Background

The prevalence of obesity, hypertension and diabetes is increasing. Hypertension and diabetes are common complications. Additionally, obesity and hypertension-diabetes comorbidity (HDC) are both closely related to insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to determine the association of obesity indicators with HDC in elderly individuals.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study included 74,955 subjects aged ≥ 60 years living in Xinzheng, Henan Province, from January 2011 to December 2019. The data were collected from the annual health examination dataset. Cox proportional hazard regression models and competing-risk survival regression models were used to examine the relationships between the three indicators and HDC risk.
