Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To evaluate the influence of underweight on health condition among healthy young adults, we assessed lifestyle characteristics of underweight subjects, and we analyzed the association of low BMI with glycolipid metabolism and hypertension. Young individuals with low BMI were found to exercise less frequently and eat a sweet snack more frequently than those with normal or high BMI. Underweight had a short-term adverse impact on lipid metabolism, especially in young women. In addition, low BMI at baseline was a long-term predictor of LDL-cholesterol elevation. Furthermore, persistent low BMI was suggested to be independently associated with future risk of hypertension in young adults.
