(A) Incidence difference [95% confidence interval (CI)] per 1,000 persons for metabolic abnormalities at the 15th versus 85th percentile of hip circumference in women. All models were adjusted for baseline age, age2, education level, smoking status, and field center. Multiple metabolic abnormalities were defined as the presence of three or more metabolic abnormalities [elevated blood pressure, elevated glucose, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and elevated triglycerides]. The 15th and 85th percentiles of hip were 82 cm and 94 cm, respectively. (B) Incidence difference (95% CI) per 1,000 persons for metabolic abnormalities at the 15th versus 85th percentile of hip circumference in men. All models were adjusted for baseline age, education level, smoking status, and field center. Multiple metabolic abnormalities were defined as the presence of three or more metabolic abnormalities (elevated blood pressure, elevated glucose, low HDL-C, and elevated triglycerides). The 15th and 85th percentiles of hip were 82 cm and 93 cm, respectively.
