Objective To study the association of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) with dyslipidemia and the risk of dyslipidemia at different BMI and WC level among adults in Suzhou Industrial Park District. Methods A total of 6219 participants were chosen by stratified random cluster sampling method. Four streets were selected form the district first, then one community as a cluster was selected randomly from each street. Questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory tests were done by all subjects. Results The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 35.9%;the rates of overweight, obesity and central obesity were 36.6%, 9.6% and 49.5% respectively. The prevalence of dyslipidemia in underweight group, normal weight group, overweight group and obesity group were 13.6%, 30.2%, 47.7%and 59.0% for male, and 17.2%, 27.3%, 38.6%和 48.8% for female respectively. The prevalence of dyslipidemia for male and female both rose with BMI (χ2=139.848, P<0.001; χ2=92.387, P<0.001). The prevalence of dyslipidemia in the high waist circumference group and normal group were 50.2%and 30.9%for male, and 40.8%and 23.8%for female respectively. Prevalence of groups with high waist circumference for male and female were significantly higher than normal groups (χ2=108.669, P<0.001; χ2=110.642, P<0.001). Pearson correlation analysis showed that total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride(TG), and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were positively correlated with BMI ( r=0.153, P<0.001;r=0.227, P<0.001;r=0.192, P<0.001), and were also positively correlated with WC(r=0.138, P<0.001; r=0.234, P<0.001; r=0.159, P<0.001). High density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) was negatively correlated with BMI (r=-0.189, P<0.001) and WC (r=-0.185, P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis after age adjustment showed that, compared to the group with BMI<24 kg/m2 and WC<85 cm(male)/WC<85 cm (female), odds ratios (OR) for male in group with BMI<24 kg/m2 and WC≥85 cm, group with BMI≥24 kg/m2 and WC<85 cm and group with BMI≥24.0 kg/m2and WC≥85 cm were 1.602, 1.834 and 3.064 respectively, and ORs for female in group with BMI<24.0 kg/m2 and WC≥80 cm and group with BMI≥24.0 kg/m2 and WC≥80 cm were 1.703 and 2.381 respectively, however, the OR for female in group with BMI≥24.0 kg/m2 and WC<85 cm was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusions BMI, waist circumference and dyslipidemia were closely correlated. Waist circumference is more important than BMI for female.
