AbstractAIMS: The association between obesity and type 2 diabetes has been found to be consistent across different ethnic populations. Our aim was to study the contribution of obesity to the development of type 2 diabetes in a non-obese Chinese population with a high prevalence of diabetes (9.8% in 1995-1996). METHODS: Six-hundred and forty-four non-diabetic subjects were recruited from the Hong Kong Cardiovascular Risk Factor Prevalence Study (1995-1996). This was a community-based population study which involved the use of a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test and 1985 World Health Organization diagnostic criteria. Their glycemic status was reassessed at 2y. RESULTS: In subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (n = 322), the annual progression rate to diabetes (4.8%; 95% Cl 2.57.1%), was 8-fold that in control subjects (0.6%; 95% Cl 0.0-1.4%; P ≤ 0.001). Baseline waist-hip ratio (WHR; OR per unit increase = 1.05; 95% Cl 1.02-1.07, P = 0.0003) and post-load 2 h plasma glucose (OR per unit increase = 2.02; 95% Cl 1.762.34, P ≤ 0.0001) were significantly associated with glycemic status at 2y in stepwise polytomous logistic regression analysis. Subjects with high baseline waist circumference or WHR (≥ median) were more likely to have worsening of glucose tolerance at 2y than those with low waist circumference (≤ median; conversion to diabetes, OR 3.8, P = O.001) or WHR (≤ median; conversion to diabetes, OR 2.8, P = 0.019). CONCLUSION: Abdominal obesity, readily assessed by the measurement of WHR or waist circumference, was for the first time shown prospectively to be independently associated with the deterioration of glucose tolerance in a Chinese population.
