The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between the Suita score (a prediction model for the development of cardiovascular disease) and body composition in Japanese health check-up subjects (6873 men and 8685 women). The Suita score includes 8 items (age, gender, smoking, diabetes, blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, and chronic kidney disease). Factors associated with the Suita score within body composition-related parameters (body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), fat mass index, fat-free mass index, fat mass to fat-free mass ratio (F-FF ratio), and water mass index) as assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis were examined. The mean age of subjects was 54.8 years in men and 52.8 years in women ( < 0.0001). The mean BMI was 23.9 kg/m in men and 21.8 kg/m in women ( < 0.0001). Diabetes mellitus was found in 1282 subjects (18.7%) among men and 816 subjects (9.4%) among women ( < 0.0001). The mean Suita score was 42.0 in men and 29.6 in women ( < 0.0001). In multivariate analysis, WC ( < 0.0001), F-FF ratio ( < 0.0001), and water mass index ( < 0.0001) were independent factors linked to the Suita score for both genders. In conclusion, body composition can be associated with the Suita score in Japanese adults receiving health check-ups.
