Methods A total of 4 907 subjects （age： 20-90 yrs） were enrolled in the baselirie survey of a longitudinal epidemiological study, and 2 638 of them were reevaluated in 5.5 years later. The Chinese BMI and WHO BF% were used to define obesity, respectively. Results The diagnostic agreement between the Chinese BMI and WHO BF% definitions for obesity was poor for both men （kappa： 0.210, 95% CI： 0.179-0.241） and women （kappa： 0.327, 95% CI： 0.296-0.358）. However, BMI had a good correlation with BF% both in men （r： 0.785, P〈0.01） and women （r： 0.864, P〈0.01）. The age and sex-adjusted relative risks （RR） for incidence of type 2 diabetes （T2DM） were significantly higher in subjects with intermediate BF% （BF%：20.1%-25% for men, 30.1%-35% for women） （RR： 2.35, 95% CI： 1.23-4.48） and high BF%（BF%〉25% for men and 〉35% for women）（RR： 2.89, 95% CI： 1.43-5.81）, or in subjects with high BMI （BMI≥ 28 kg/m2） （RR： 2.46, 95% CI： 1.31-4.63） when compared to those with low BF% （BF%≤20% for men ands〈30% for women） or low BMI （BMI〈24 kg/m^2） respectively. No difference in risk could be found in those with intermediate BMI （BMI： 24-27.9 kg/m^2） （RR： 1.44, 95% CI： 0.86-2.40）, as compared to those with low BMI （BMI〈24 kg/m^2）, whose BF% ranged widely from 7.8 to 50.3%. Conclusion BMI was correlated with BF%. Both BMI and BF% were associated with high risk for T2DM. However, BMI had its limitations in the interpretation of subjects with BMI between 24 and 27.9 kg/m^2.展开更多
