Abstract
Aim
This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the associations of a healthy lifestyle index (HLI) with several anthropometric indices and obesity among Hong Kong Chinese women.
Subjects/Methods
A total of 3174 women (56.16 ± 8.43 years) were included. The HLI consisted of diet, physical activity, sedentary time, sleep duration, skipping breakfast, smoking, and alcohol. Each factor was scored as 0 (unhealthy) or 1 (healthy). The overall HLI was the sum of these points, ranging from 0 (the least healthy) to 7 (healthiest). Percent body fat (PBF), body fat mass (BFM), fat free mass (FFM), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), height, and weight were measured using the InBody 270 device.
Results
The number of women with 0–2, 3, 4, 5, 6–7-point HLI groups were 551, 759, 954, 645, and 265, respectively. As HLI increased, most anthropometric indices declined while FFM increased. The adjusted βs (95 % confidence intervals (95 % CIs)) for PBF (%), BFM (kg), WC (cm), WHR, height (cm), weight (kg), BMI (kg/m^2), and FFM (kg) were −0.653 (-0.829, −0.476), −0.582 (-0.751, −0.414), −0.719 (-0.971, −0.467), −0.005 (-0.006, −0.004), −0.181 (-0.347, −0.015), −0.602 (-0.850, −0.355), −0.188 (-0.282, −0.095), and 0.339 (0.213, 0.465), respectively. Additionally, compared to the 0–2-point group, the odds ratios (95 % CIs) of the 6–7-point groups were 0.54 (0.38–0.75) for central obesity and 0.55 (0.37–0.82) for general obesity.
Conclusions
HLI was inversely associated with PBF, BFM, WC, WHR, height, weight, BMI, central obesity, and general obesity, but was positively associated with FFM.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Obesity Research & Clinical Practice (ORCP) is to publish high quality clinical and basic research relating to the epidemiology, mechanism, complications and treatment of obesity and the complication of obesity. Studies relating to the Asia Oceania region are particularly welcome, given the increasing burden of obesity in Asia Pacific, compounded by specific regional population-based and genetic issues, and the devastating personal and economic consequences. The journal aims to expose health care practitioners, clinical researchers, basic scientists, epidemiologists, and public health officials in the region to all areas of obesity research and practice. In addition to original research the ORCP publishes reviews, patient reports, short communications, and letters to the editor (including comments on published papers). The proceedings and abstracts of the Annual Meeting of the Asia Oceania Association for the Study of Obesity is published as a supplement each year.
