Abstract:
Objective To study the relationship between the aged retirees' group's body mass index(BMI)distribution characteristics and relative cardiovascular diseases risk tactors.Methods One thousand three hundred and forty-three retirees in health medical examination were tested for systolic pressure, diastolic pressure,serum triglyceride,total cholesterol and fasting blood glucose.Groups with different BMI and different genders were tested for their mortality.Results The detective rates of BMI insufficiency,normal,overweight and obesity were 6.18%,51.67%,35.52%and 6.63%respectively.There was no statistic significance between different genders.The prevalence rates of hypertension,hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellitus(DM)were 46.09%,46.91%and 7.45%respectively.It showed that the prevalence rates of male hypertension and hyperlipidemia were significantly above those of the female's(P<0.05).As the BMI increased,hypertention,hyperlipidemia and DM rates increased too,and obviously increased in overweight group compared to normal BMI group(P<0.05).The detective rate of cardiovascular disease increased correspondingly with the increase of BMI.Conclusion BMI increasing is the important vascular relative risk factor for the aged retriee.
