Association between anthropometric indices of obesity and risk of cardiovascular disease in Japanese men

Objectives We aimed to compare the association of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist‐to‐height ratio (WHtR) with risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among middle‐aged working Japanese men. Methods A nested case‐control study was performed among middle‐aged male employees who...

Zusammenfassung:Objectives We aimed to compare the association of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist‐to‐height ratio (WHtR) with risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among middle‐aged working Japanese men. Methods A nested case‐control study was performed among middle‐aged male employees who underwent periodic health checkup. A total of 241 CVD cases were identified and matched individually on age, gender, and worksite with 1205 controls. Data on BMI, WC, WHtR, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia collected at 4 years before the event/index date were retrieved. Associations between BMI, WC, WHtR, and CVD risk were assessed by using conditional logistic regression models. Results The strength of the association of BMI, WC, and WHtR with CVD risk was similar. The smoking‐adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for CVD was 1.60 (1.38‐1.85), 1.53 (1.33‐1.78), and 1.56 (1.35‐1.81) for a 1 SD unit increase in BMI, WC, and WHtR respectively. After further adjustment for hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, these associations were attenuated but remained statistically significant. Conclusions Measures of general (BMI) and abdominal (WC and WHtR) obesity were similarly associated with CVD in middle‐aged Japanese men.
