(a) The three-factor combined associations of body weight, blood pressure and triglyceride with hyperglycemia among overall participants aged 60 + years in Nanjing, China (N = 26, 769). Footnotes : 1 Body weight status (non-excess: BMI < 24; overweight: BMI = 24–27; obese: BMI ≥ 28) was categorized based on recommendations for Chinese adults using body mass index (BMI). 2 Hypertension (HTN) referred to that either the objectively-measured systolic/diastolic blood pressure exceeded 140/90 mmHg or diagnosed hypertension. 3 Triglyceride status was classified as normal (< 1.7mmol/L) and hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) (od pressure exceeded 140/90 mmHg Guidelines for Lipid Management (2023). 4 Hyperglycemia was defined as objectively-assessed fasting venous blood glucose concentration ≥ 6.1mmol/L. 5 OR: odds ratios; 95%CI: 95% confidence interval. 6 Model 1 was a univariate analysis, where body weight, BP, TG, or their combined measures served as the single independent variable, and the survey community was included as a random effect. 7 Model 2 was a multivariate analysis, adjusting for age, sex (overall participants only), urban/rural residence, educational attainment, marital status, health insurance, PA, smoking, drinking, meat and fruit consumption, family history of diabetes, medication use for managing HTN or HTG, and—where applicable—body weight status, BP status, and TG status, in addition to the variable(s) considered in Model 1. (b) The three-factor combined associations of body weight, blood pressure and triglyceride with hyperglycemia among men aged 60 + years in Nanjing, China (N = 13, 052). Footnotes : 1 Body weight status (non-excess: BMI < 24; overweight: BMI = 24–27; obese: BMI ≥ 28) was categorized based on recommendations for Chinese adults using body mass index (BMI). 2 Hypertension (HTN) referred to that either the objectively-measured systolic/diastolic blood pressure exceeded 140/90 mmHg or diagnosed hypertension. 3 Triglyceride status was classified as normal (< 1.7mmol/L) and hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) (≥ 1.7mmol/L) according to Chinese Guidelines for Lipid Management (2023). 4 Hyperglycemia was defined as objectively-assessed fasting venous blood glucose concentration ≥ 6.1mmol/L. 5 OR: odds ratios; 95%CI: 95% confidence interval. 6 Model 1 was a univariate analysis, where body weight, BP, TG, or their combined measures served as the single independent variable, and the survey community was included as a random effect. 7 Model 2 was a multivariate analysis, adjusting for age, sex (overall participants only), urban/rural residence, educational attainment, marital status, health insurance, PA, smoking, drinking, meat and fruit consumption, family history of diabetes, medication use for managing HTN or HTG, and—where applicable—body weight status, BP status, and TG status, in addition to the variable(s) considered in Model 1. (c) The three-factor combined associations of body weight, blood pressure and triglyceride with hyperglycemia among women aged 60 + years in Nanjing, China (N = 13, 717). Footnotes : 1 Body weight status (non-excess: BMI < 24; overweight: BMI = 24–27; obese: BMI ≥ 28) was categorized based on recommendations for Chinese adults using body mass index (BMI). 2 Hypertension (HTN) referred to that either the objectively-measured systolic/diastolic blood pressure exceeded 140/90 mmHg or diagnosed hypertension. 3 Triglyceride status was classified as normal (< 1.7mmol/L) and hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) (≥ 1.7mmol/L) according to Chinese Guidelines for Lipid Management (2023). 4 Hyperglycemia was defined as objectively-assessed fasting venous blood glucose concentration ≥ 6.1mmol/L. 5 OR: odds ratios; 95%CI: 95% confidence interval. 6 Model 1 was a univariate analysis, where body weight, BP, TG, or their combined measures served as the single independent variable, and the survey community was included as a random effect. 7 Model 2 was a multivariate analysis, adjusting for age, sex (overall participants only), urban/rural residence, educational attainment, marital status, health insurance, PA, smoking, drinking, meat and fruit consumption, family history of diabetes, medication use for managing HTN or HTG, and—where applicable—body weight status, BP status, and TG status, in addition to the variable(s) considered in Model 1.
