RESUMO
UNLABELLED: This study aimed to analysis the relationship among body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) with chronic diseases risk factors--serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceridaemia(TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), fasting blood glucose (FBG), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and the prevalence of chronic diseases. The data was collected from 1995 to 1998 in the study of community base integrated intervention of non-communicable chronic diseases. RESULTS: The prevalence of overweight and obesity in male was 41.7% and 14.6%, in female was 32.0% and 20.4% in this population, respectively. BMI and WC had significant positive relationship with TC, TG, SBP and DBP but negative with HDL-C and HDL-C/TC. WC had significant positive relation with FBG. The prevalence of dyslipidaemia hypertension and diabetes were significantly increased in overweight and obese groups. For early prevention, we have to pay more attention to the population with BMI > 24.0 kg/m2, they had increased risk factors of non-communicable chronic diseases.
