Abstract

Objective To study the changes of body adiposity index (BAI) of Chinese urban adult with latitude. Methods Based on the measurement of stature and hip circumference of 10 451 Chinese urban Han of 31 districts form 2009 to 2013, and calculated their body adiposity index values, BAI. Results The average of BAI of 31 male groups was between 23.64 and 27.49. It was divided into 3 levels:the first level was BAI≥26.00, the second level was between 25.00 and 25.99, and the third level was BAI<25.00; The average of BAI of 31 female groups was between 27.56 and 30.80. It was divided into 3 levels: the first level was BAI≥30.00, the second level was between 29.00 and 29.99, and the third level was BAI<29.00. Conclusion Hip circumference has a positively linear correlation with latitude,and stature has a positively linear correlation with latitude, hip circumference and stature have positively linear correlation, BAI has positively linear correlation with hip circumference and latitude, but BAI and stature hare no correlation of 31 urban Han groups.
