Dynapenic abdominal obesity and the risk of cardiovascular diseases: findings from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dynapenic abdominal obesity (DAO) is a health indicator associating with aging-related disease in older adults. However, no research has clarified the impact of DAO on cardiovascular diseases (CVD). We aim to investigate the distribution of DAO status and its association with subsequent CVD in middle-aged and older adults.

Methods

Data were derived from 2011 to 2018 in China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. The participants were classified as dynapenic abdominal obesity (D/AO), dynapenic non-abdominal obesity (D/NAO), non-dynapenic abdominal obesity (ND/AO) and non-dynapenic non-abdominal obesity (ND/NAO) based on waist circumference (≥ 90 cm for men or ≥ 85 cm for women) and handgrip strength (<28 kg for men or <18 kg for women). CVD was confirmed by med
