Gender and Age Variations in Obesity in the Jackson Heart Study

In 2013-2014 in the U.S., the prevalence of obesity (body mass index (BMI)≥30 kg/m2) among African Americans was 38.2% in men and 57.2% in women, decreasing after age 60 in men but not in women. We used data from the Jackson Heart Study (JHS) to examine gender- and age-variations in prevalence of obesity as defined by BMI, waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). Based on data from JHS Visit 3 (2009-2013), we conducted a cross-sectional analysis of prevalence of obesity defined by BMI (≥30), WC (>88 cm among women and >102 cm among men), and WHtR (>0.5) by age and gender. We used logistic regression to evaluate associations of obesity defined by BMI (ref: BMI Disclosure A. Correa: None. Y. Gao: None. L.D. Brown: None. R.A. Bell: None. A.
