Lipid abnormalities are associated with overweight and obesity. Some simple anthropometric measurements such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHpR), waist-to-height (WHtR), may link to increased risk of dyslipidemia. However, diverse results were found in different population studies. We focused on the associations between these dyslipidemia non-obese (BMI <28kg/m2) aged more than 40 years.Cross-sectional study 4185 adults years was conducted Nanchang, Jiangxi province, China. Questionnaire, laboratory tests conducted. The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Expert Panel Detection, Evaluation, Treatment High Blood Adults (Adult III) criteria used define high total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), low high-density (HDL-C), hypertriglyceridemia overall prevalence TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, hypercholesterolemia, 15.68%, 27.98%, 20.12%, 44.01%, 21.98% 49.06% respectively. Multiple logistic regressions showed only BMI (per quartile increment) risks for prevalent hypertriglyceridemia, Regardless sex, age metabolic syndrome, increasing persistently independent factor having hypercholesterolemia dyslipidemia, however not TC.In Chinese years, better identify other measurements. due meanings, both WC should be measured monitored assessment.
