Association of Metabolically Healthy Overweight Phenotype With Abnormalities of Glucose Levels and Blood Pressure Among Chinese Adults.

ABSTRACT: Importance:Whether the metabolically healthy overweight (MHO) phenotype is resistant to metabolic abnormalities remains unknown. Objective:To evaluate the association of MHO with glucose level abnormalities and high blood pressure (BP) in Chinese adults. Design, Setting, and Participants:This prospective cohort study was conducted from January 1, 2013, to October 31, 2018, in the Health Management Center at Ren Ji Hospital, Shanghai, China, using data from 55 155 recruited Chinese adults. Body weight, fasting blood glucose (FBG) level, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level, and BP were measured annually. Exposures:Metabolically healthy overweight was defined as a body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) of 24.0 in 2013 (baseline) and 2014, no history o
