Relationship between body mass index and cardiometabolic health in a multi-ethnic population: A project baseline health study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Obesity is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Understanding the associations between comprehensive health parameters and body mass index (BMI) may lead to targeted prevention efforts.

Methods

Project Baseline Health Study (PBHS) participants were divided into six BMI categories: underweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m²), normal weight (BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m²), overweight (BMI 25-29.9 kg/m²), class I obesity (30-34.9 kg/m²), class II obesity (35-39.9 kg/m²), and class III obesity (BMI ≥40 kg/m²). Demographic, cardiometabolic, mental health, and physical health parameters were compared across BMI categories, and multivariable logistic regression models were fit to evaluate associations.
