Aim: Body mass index and waist circumference are used for obesity diagnosis and screening of visceral fat; however, their evidence in older adults is insufficient. This study investigated the age-specific association of body mass index and waist circumference with metabolic diseases, assessing their applicability as diagnostic criteria for individuals aged ≥65 years.

Methods: Analysis included 46,324 individuals aged ≥18 years, categorized into five age groups: 18-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65-74, and ≥75 years. Logistic regression analyses identified associations between obesity and metabolic diseases, stratified by age and sex.

Results: Men with obesity based on body mass index had a significantly high risk of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia across all age groups (all, p < 0.05). Obesity based on waist circumference was significantly positively associated with all metabolic diseases (all, p < 0.05). Women with obesity based on body mass index and waist circumference had a significantly high risk of all metabolic diseases across all age groups (all, p < 0.05), except for diabetes mellitus in individuals aged ≥75 years.

Conclusions: Participants with obesity based on body mass index and waist circumference exhibited a high risk of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia among those aged 18-74 years and men aged ≥75 years. This study contributes to the early prevention and control of metabolic diseases.
