<b><i>Background:</i></b> The relationship between long-term body mass index (BMI) variability, weight change slope, and risk of cardiovascular outcomes in Chinese hypertensive patients has not been fully elucidated. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A total of 20,737 patients with hypertension and three BMI measurements between 2006 and 2011 were included. Average real variability (ARV) was used to evaluate variability, and the subjects were divided into three groups: tertile 1 with BMI_ARV ≤0.86; tertile 2 with 0.86 &#x3c; BMI_ARV ≤ 1.60; and tertile 3 with BMI_ARV &#x3e;1.60. Cox proportional-hazards models were used to analyze the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) in each group. <b><i>Results:</i></b> There were 1,352 cases of CVD during an average follow-up of 6.62 years. The 7-year cumulative incidence rates of CVD, stroke, and myocardial infarction (MI) in tertile 3 were 7.53, 6.13, and 1.56%, respectively. After adjustment for average BMI, weight change slope, and other traditional risk factors, the hazard ratio (HR) values for CVD, stroke, and MI in the highest tertile were 1.21 (95% CI 1.05–1.39), 1.21 (95% CI 1.04–1.38), and 1.20 (95% CI 0.88–1.62), respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that the HR values for CVD in tertile 3 were 1.71 (95% CI 1.06–2.75) and 0.98 (95% CI 0.61–1.58) in the positive and the negative weight change subjects, respectively. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Higher BMI variability was associated with increased risk of CVD in hypertensive subjects with weight gain but not in those with weight loss, independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract Background Although obesity is a well-recognised risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), the impact of long-term body mass index (BMI) changes in overweight or obese adults, on the risk of heart failure, CVD and mortality has not been quantified. Methods This population-based cohort study used routine UK primary care electronic health data linked to secondary care and death-registry records. We identified adults who were overweight or obese, free from CVD and who had repeated BMI measures. Using group-based trajectory modelling, we examined the BMI trajectories of these individuals and then determined incidence rates of CVD, heart failure and mortality associated with the different trajectories. Cox-proportional hazards regression determined hazards ratios for incident outcomes. Results 264,230 individuals (mean age 49.5 years (SD 12.7) and mean BMI 33.8 kg/m2 (SD 6.1)) were followed-up for a median duration of 10.9 years. Four BMI trajectories were identified, corresponding at baseline, with World Health Organisation BMI classifications for overweight, class-1, class-2 and class-3 obesity respectively. In all four groups, there was a small, stable upwards trajectory in BMI (mean BMI increase of 1.06 kg/m2 (± 3.8)). Compared with overweight individuals, class-3 obese individuals had hazards ratios (HR) of 3.26 (95% CI 2.98–3.57) for heart failure, HR of 2.72 (2.58–2.87) for all-cause mortality and HR of 3.31 (2.84–3.86) for CVD-related mortality, after adjusting for baseline demographic and cardiovascular risk factors. Conclusion The majority of adults who are overweight or obese retain their degree of overweight or obesity over the long term. Individuals with stable severe obesity experience the worst heart failure, CVD and mortality outcomes. These findings highlight the high cardiovascular toll exacted by continuing failure to tackle obesity.
