BACKGROUND: The relationship between @entity28 and @entity101 varies with geographical area, race and definitions of @entity28 . Our study aimed to investigate the prevalence of @entity28 using standard Chinese criteria based on the body mass index (BMI) and the waist circumference (WC) and to examine the association between @entity28 and @entity101 among middle-aged and elderly @entity1 in Jinan city. METHODS: This cross-sectional study examined 1,870 subjects from the blocks randomly selected from among the 6 communities of Jinan, China in 2011-2012. The Student's t-test was used to compare numerical data, and the   2 test was used to compare categorical data. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the effects of general and @entity1144 on @entity101 after adjusting for age or for education level, smoking, @entity167 consumption, and continuous age. RESULTS: The prevalence of general @entity28 among @entity1 age 50 years and older was 21.1% (17.0% for males and 23.1% for females), and the prevalence of @entity1144 was 77.8% for @entity1 and 78.7% for @entity1 . For @entity1 , compared with a normal BMI, the ORs and 95% CIs for overweight and general @entity28 were 1.853 (1.252, 2.744) and 3.422 (1.894, 6.182), respectively, after adjusting for age, smoking, alcohol consumption and educational level. Compared with a normal WC, the ORs and 95% CIs for @entity1144 were 2.334 (1.573, 3.465) and 2.318 (1.544, 3.479), respectively, for @entity1 . For @entity1 , compared with a normal BMI, the ORs and 95% CIs were 1.942 (1.473, 2.599) and 4.011 (2.817, 5.712), respectively, after adjusting for age, smoking, alcohol consumption and educational level. Compared with a normal WC, the ORs and 95% CIs for @entity1144 were 2.488 (1.865, 3.319) and 2.379 (1.773, 3.192), respectively, for @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: The relationship between @entity101 and general @entity28 was stronger than the relationship between @entity101 and either @entity1144 in both genders.
