Association between body mass index and cardio-metabolic risk factors among subjects in Wuhan, China: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI) and cardio-metabolic risk factors and to determine the optimal BMI cut-off values in male and female subjects in Wuhan, China.We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 20218 adult subjects (aged 18-85 years, 12717 men of them) who had health examinations at the health management center of Tongji Hospital of Wuhan in 2017. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was preformed to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) of cardio-metabolic risk factors. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to determine the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve and optimal cut-off values for BMI predictive of cardio-metabolic risk factors.Of the 20218 participants, the perce
