Abstract
BACKGROUND
The relationship between metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk remains debated. The critical point may be the lack of consensus on MHO's definition and diagnostic criteria.
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to investigate the association of MHO status with arteriosclerosis-CVD (ASCVD) risk in Chinese under new diagnostic criteria.
METHODS
Participants aged 35-79 in the 2009 China Health and Nutrition Survey cohort were included. The 10-year ASCVD risk was predicted by the prediction for ASCVD risk in China, and participants with a predicted risk of ⩾ 10% were classified into the high-risk group. The Bayesian network (BN) models were constructed to characterize the multivariable probabilistic connections between metabolically obesity phenotypes and ASCVD risk.
RESULTS
The 10-year ASCVD risk score and the proportion of individuals at ASCVD high risk were significantly different between metabolically obesity phenotypes (P< 0.001). BN reasoning results showed that MHO individuals were not significantly associated with a 10-year ASCVD risk. Among metabolically unhealthy individuals, the conditional probability of high ASCVD risk increased with the Body Mass Index (BMI), with the conditional probability of high ASCVD risk was 24.63% (95% CI: 22.81-26.55%), 32.97% (95% CI: 30.75-35.27%) and 40.2% (95% CI: 36.64-43.86%) for metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUNW), metabolically healthy overweight weight (MHOW), and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) group, respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that MHO individuals were at increased risk of CVD compared with metabolically healthy normal weight (MHNW) individuals only in females.
CONCLUSION
These results showed that there was no significant increase in ASCVD risk of MHO phenotype based on the new diagnostic criteria, suggesting that MHO is in a relatively healthy state.
期刊介绍:
Technology and Health Care is intended to serve as a forum for the presentation of original articles and technical notes, observing rigorous scientific standards. Furthermore, upon invitation, reviews, tutorials, discussion papers and minisymposia are featured. The main focus of THC is related to the overlapping areas of engineering and medicine. The following types of contributions are considered:
1.Original articles: New concepts, procedures and devices associated with the use of technology in medical research and clinical practice are presented to a readership with a widespread background in engineering and/or medicine. In particular, the clinical benefit deriving from the application of engineering methods and devices in clinical medicine should be demonstrated. Typically, full length original contributions have a length of 4000 words, thereby taking duly into account figures and tables.
2.Technical Notes and Short Communications: Technical Notes relate to novel technical developments with relevance for clinical medicine. In Short Communications, clinical applications are shortly described. 3.Both Technical Notes and Short Communications typically have a length of 1500 words.
Reviews and Tutorials (upon invitation only): Tutorial and educational articles for persons with a primarily medical background on principles of engineering with particular significance for biomedical applications and vice versa are presented. The Editorial Board is responsible for the selection of topics.
4.Minisymposia (upon invitation only): Under the leadership of a Special Editor, controversial or important issues relating to health care are highlighted and discussed by various authors.
5.Letters to the Editors: Discussions or short statements (not indexed).
