Six-Year Incidence of Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in a Population-Based Cohort of Chinese Adults Followed From 2009 to 2015.

ABSTRACT: Background China faces a substantial burden from cardiometabolic diseases, but longitudinal studies on a wide range of cardiometabolic risk factors are limited. We examined the 6-year incidence of 8 cardiometabolic risk factors in a diverse, population-based cohort. Methods and Results In the China Health and Nutrition Survey, anthropometry, blood pressure, and fasting blood samples were collected from 9621 adults (47.6% men) aged 18 to 99 years in 2009 who were followed into 2015. Using inverse probability weights to account for loss to follow-up, we estimated the 6-year incidence of 8 cardiometabolic risk factors and compared the incidence of each risk factor across age groups using inverse probability-weighted sex-stratified logistic regression models. Incidence was noted for the follow
