Summary

Nutrition label

91% Informative

The study used data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), an ongoing, nationally representative study of middle-aged and older adults living in 28 provinces across China .

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, with almost 20 million deaths annually .

Previous research has indicated that BRI , a measure to reflect abdominal fat and body shape, may be helpful to predict CVD risk.

More research is needed to confirm and fully understand how these results might be used to prevent cardiovascular disease.

Study had some limitations, including that it was specific to adults living in China , meaning the results may not be generalizable to people living in other countries.

The American Heart Association is a relentless force for a world of longer, healthier lives.
