Revisiting obesity thresholds for cardiovascular disease and mortality risk in Chinese adults: Age- and gender-specific insights.
Current obesity classifications may not adequately reflect age- and gender-specific risks in diverse populations. In a prospective cohort study of 166,285 Chinese adults aged ≥40 years without prior cardiovascular disease (CVD) or cancer, we evaluate optimal thresholds of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) for predicting incident CVD and all-cause mortality. We observe monotonically increasing dose-response associations of BMI, WC, and WHR with CVD risk but U-shaped relationships with all-cause mortality. The optimal obesity thresholds based on all-cause mortality risk differ by gender, with the lowest mortality risks occurring at BMI 26.3 kg/m2, WC 88 cm, and WHR 0.90 in men and BMI 25.4 kg/m2, WC 83 cm, and WHR 0.85 in women. Moreover, higher adiposity appears protective in older adults. These findings highlight the need for population-specific obesity criteria to enhance clinical risk assessment and public health strategies.

期刊介绍:
Cell Reports Medicine is an esteemed open-access journal by Cell Press that publishes groundbreaking research in translational and clinical biomedical sciences, influencing human health and medicine.
Our journal ensures wide visibility and accessibility, reaching scientists and clinicians across various medical disciplines. We publish original research that spans from intriguing human biology concepts to all aspects of clinical work. We encourage submissions that introduce innovative ideas, forging new paths in clinical research and practice. We also welcome studies that provide vital information, enhancing our understanding of current standards of care in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. This encompasses translational studies, clinical trials (including long-term follow-ups), genomics, biomarker discovery, and technological advancements that contribute to diagnostics, treatment, and healthcare. Additionally, studies based on vertebrate model organisms are within the scope of the journal, as long as they directly relate to human health and disease.
