ObjectiveTo examine the associations of change in body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) over an average of 4 years with subsequent mortality risk in middle-aged to older Chinese.DesignProspective cohort study based on the Guangzhou Biobank Cohort Study.SettingCommunity-based sample.Participants17 773 participants (12 956 women and 4817 men) aged 50+ years.Primary and secondary outcome measuresPrimary outcome measure was all-cause mortality. Secondary outcome measures were cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer mortality. Causes of death were obtained via record linkage, and coded according to the International Classification of Diseases (tenth revision).Results1424 deaths (53.4% women) occurred in the 17 773 participants (mean age 61.2, SD 6.8 years) during an average follow-up of 7.8 (SD=1.5) years, and 97.7% of participants did not have an intention of weight loss . Compared with participants with stable BMI, participants with BMI loss (>5%), but not gain, had a higher risk of all-cause mortality (HR=1.49, 95% CI 1.31 to 1.71), which was greatest in those who were underweight (HR=2.45, 95% CI 1.31 to 4.59). Similar patterns were found for WC. In contrast, for participants with a BMI of ≥27.5 kg/m2, BMI gain, versus stable BMI, was associated with 89% higher risk of all-cause mortality (HR=1.89, 95% CI 1.25 to 2.88), 72% higher risk of CVD mortality (HR=1.72, 95% CI 0.80 to 3.72) and 2.27-fold risk of cancer mortality (HR=2.27, 95% CI 1.26 to 4.10).ConclusionIn older people, unintentional BMI/WC loss, especially in those who were underweight was associated with higher mortality risk. However, BMI gain in those with obesity showed excess risks of all-cause and cancer mortality, but not CVD mortality. Frequent monitoring of changes in body size can be used as an early warning for timely clinical investigations and interventions and is important to inform appropriate health management in older Chinese.

Abstract Objective. To evaluate the relationship between sleep duration, sleep restless and arthritis in middle-aged and older Chinese population. Methods. A total of 4957 middle-aged and elderly people aged 45 years and above from The China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) wave 3 were included. Multivariable logistic regression was used to calculate adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) for arthritis. Results. Sleep duration was shown to have a U-shaped association with arthritis after adjusting confounding factors. Compared with <5h sleep duration per night, ORs (95 % CIs) of sleep duration 5-7,7-8 and 8-9 h per night for arthritis were 0.61 (0.52– 0.73, P value <0.001) ,0.47 (0.38-0.58, P value <0.001),0.50 (0.41,0.60, P value <0.001)and 0.50 (0.39–0.64, P value <0.001), respectively. Sleep restless was positively correlated with the prevalence of arthritis. After stratification according to sleep restless status, for those without sleep restless, 8-9 hours duration (OR=0.55, 95 % CI 0.39-0.78,P value=0.001)had the best protective effect on arthritis, while7-8 hours duration (OR=0.45, 95 % CI 0.34-0.60,P value <0.001)was best in people with sleep restless. Conclusion. In middle aged and old Chinese population, sleep duration is U-shaped associated with arthritis, and sleep restless affect the correlation.
