Background: A body shape index (ABSI) has been proven to be related to a population's CVD incidence. However, the application of this indicator has produced different results.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the applicability of the ABSI in predicting the incidence of CVD in rural Xinjiang, China, and compare it with waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), and body mass index (BMI).
Background: This study aimed to describe the prevalence of metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUNW) rural adults in Xinjiang and to explore their influencing factors.
Methods: We selected 13,525 Uyghur, Kazakh and Han participants in Kashi, Yili and Shihezi areas in Xinjiang from 2009 to 2010. Weight status was classified according to body mass index.
Background: Some studies have shown that a high level of bilirubin is a protective factor against metabolic syndrome (MS), while a high level of transaminase is a risk factor for MS. However, the existing results are inconsistent and few cohort studies have been published.
Methods: Using an ambispective cohort study, 565 Kazakhs from Xinjiang, China were selected as the study subjects.
Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the effectiveness of blood lipid indicators (BLIs) in diagnosing insulin resistance (IR) across three ethnic groups in Xinjiang, China, aiming to enhance early detection and treatment of metabolic diseases in rural areas.
- Involving 418 Uygurs, 331 Kazakhs, and 220 Hans, the research found that IR levels and the relationship between IR and BLIs varied among these groups, with Kazakhs showing the highest IR levels.
- The findings indicate specific BLIs that reliably predict IR for each ethnic group, with certain cut-off points established, demonstrating the potential of BLIs as useful screening tools for early IR detection.
. To study the relationships between IR and glucose and lipid metabolism in far western China and these relationships' ethnic heterogeneity. .

We thus investigated the prevalence of MetS among a multi-ethnic population living in a low income rural area and explored the use of visceral adiposity and anthropometric indicators to identify men and women with MetS. We recruited 10,029 individuals of nomadic Kazakhs, rural Uyghur and Han residents in Xinjiang, China.

Methods: A total of 3752 individuals were selected using the stratified cluster random sampling method from nomadic Kazakhs (≥18 years old) in Xinyuan county, Xinjiang, China, which is approximately 4407 km away from the capital Beijing. MetS was defined by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) and Joint Interim Statement (JIS) criteria.

Objective: To detect the interactions between six functional polymorphisms in ABCA1 and obesity in Kazakhs with low HDL-C levels.
Methods: A total of 204 patients with low HDL-C and 207 health control subjects, which were randomly selected from among 5692 adult Kazakhs, were matched for age and sex. We genotyped ABCA1 single nucleotide polymorphisms of rs2515602, rs3890182, rs2275542, rs2230806, rs1800976, and rs4149313.
