| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The Suita study, a prospective cohort study of the urban population of Japan, suggested the following three findings. First, waist height ratio (WHtR：WC (cm) divided by height (cm)) was useful for identifying individuals at higher risk for cardiovascular diseases, especially, in the middle-aged men and women. Second, additional increase in waist circumferences (WC) among those with relatively higher WC could lead to the elevated risks of type 2 diabetes.That is, prvention of abdominal obesity is important to reduce the incidence of diabetes. Third, all of following three obesity related parameters, BMI (weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared), WC, WHtR, could predict the incidence of hypertension, and no difference was observed in predictability between BMI and waist related parameters (WC, WHtR).
