Visceral adiposity index, XXXX waist phenotype and @entity740 in a southern Chinese population: a cross-sectional study.

@entity1 @entity101 @entity6 @entity6308 @entity740
OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationships between visceral adiposity index (VAI), @entity6308 waist phenotype (HW phenotype) and @entity740 ( @entity740 ). METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Zhuhai City June-October 2012. A total of 2142 @entity1 were recruited. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the associations between VAI, HW phenotype and @entity740 . RESULTS: After adjustment for age, VAI was significantly associated with @entity740 (OR 2.16, 95  % CI 1.25-3.74, P  =  0.006) in @entity1 . Further adjusted for potential confounders, the association was still significant in @entity1 (OR 2.07, 95  % CI 1.17-3.64, P  =  0.01). However, the association was abolished when adding @entity6 and @entity101 to the model (OR 1.68, 95  % CI 0.92-3.06, P  =  0.09). The age-adjusted OR (95  % CI, P) of @entity740 associated with HW phenotype was 2.21 (1.29-3.76, 0.004) and 2.54 (1.53-4.22, <0.001) for @entity1 and @entity1 , respectively. Further adjusted for potential confounders, the associations were still significant in both subgroups. The OR for @entity740 was 2.41 (95  % CI 1.42-4.12, P  =  0.001) and 2.32 (95  % CI 1.31-4.11, P  =  0.004) for @entity1 and @entity1 , respectively. When further adjusted for @entity6 and @entity101 , the association of HW phenotype and @entity740 was significant (OR 1.88, 95  % CI 1.05-3.36, P  =  0.033) in @entity1 . However, the model is abolished in @entity1 (OR 1.50, 95  % CI 0.81-2.78, P  =  0.19). CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that both VAI and the HW phenotype might be useful clinical indicators of @entity740 in China for females but not for males. The HW phenotype associated more strongly with @entity740 , compared with VAI.
