Weight change over 4 years and risk of cardiovascular diseases in Chinese: The China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study
Abstract Introduction: Previous studies had reported the impact of weight changes in middle age on the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the results were inconsistent. In present study, we aimed to investigated the impact of a 4-year weight change on the risk of CVD in middle-aged and elderly Chinese individuals. Methods: Using nationally representative data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, 7,530 participants (age: 58.2 ± 8.9 years) were included. Weight change was calculated by subtracting weight at baseline from that at 4-year follow-up. Weight change over 4 years was divided into ...

Long-Term Body Mass Index Variability, Weight Change Slope, and Risk of Cardiovascular Outcomes: 7-Year Prospective Study in Chinese Hypertensive Subjects
Conclusions: Higher BMI variability was associated with increased risk of CVD in hypertensive subjects with weight gain but not in those with weight loss, independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors.Obes Facts

Gender Differences in Factors Associated with Clinically Meaningful Weight Loss among Adults Who Were Overweight or Obese: A Population-Based Cohort Study
Conclusion: Age, BMI status, physical activity, smoking status, family income, and health status were independent factors in males and females for weight management. However, further well-designed prospective studies are warranted to confirm our findings.Obes Facts

Evaluation of the Obesity Genes < b > < i > FTO < /i > < /b > and < b > < i > MC4R < /i > < /b > for Contribution to the Risk of Large Artery Atherosclerotic Stroke in a Chinese Population
Background: Obesity is a well-established risk factor for large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke. The aim of the study was to explore whether obesity genes, such asMC4R and FTO, contribute to LAA stroke risk in the Chinese Han population.Methods: 322 LAA stroke patients and 473 controls were recruited. Gene polymorphism ofMC4R (rs17782313) andFTO (rs8050136 and rs9939609) were genotyped.Results: No differences were observed in genotype frequencies of variants ofFTO (rs8050136 and rs9939609) orMC4R (rs17782313) between LAA stroke patients and control subjects. However, rs17782313 of theMC4R gene was associated with LAA s...
