Description
Jin-Yu Sun and co-authors link belly fat, gauged by waist size, to high blood pressure in adults in China and the US. Their 2024 study pools three large national surveys with more than forty-seven thousand people in all. At the first check, a larger waist went with higher odds of having high blood pressure. Near ten thousand people free of the condition were then tracked for close to four years.
More than a quarter of that tracked group grew high blood pressure in that span. Each step up in waist size came with a clear step up in risk, in a straight line. The link held even for people of normal weight, and gene-based tests backed a causal role.
