AB  - Objective: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of waist 
      circumference (WC) and abdominal obesity (AO) among Chinese adults aged 18 and 
      above. Methods: Data were collected from China National Nutrition and Health 
      Surveillance in 2010-2012. Multi-stage stratifies proportion to the population 
      cluster random sampling method was conducted to determine 120 265 subjects aged 
      18 and above at 150 counties in 31 provinces in China mainland. WC was determined 
      for all subjects, and AO was judged according to the "Healthy Adult Weight 
      Determination" (WS/T 428-2013). Using the demographic data published by the 
      National Bureau of Statistics of China in 2009, we performed complex sampling 
      weighted treatment to calculate the WC, AO rate and 95%CI. Results: The mean WC 
      of Chinese men aged 18 and above was 82.8 cm, which of urban men (84.1 cm) was 
      higher than that of rural men (81.4 cm) (P<0.001). The average WC of women was 
      78.5 cm. There was no statistical difference between urban (78.7 cm) and rural 
      women (78.4 cm) (P=0.965). With the increase of education level, the mean WC of 
      male increased gradually from 81.2 cm to 84.3 cm (P<0.001), and the mean WC of 
      female decreased from 80.3 cm to 74.3 cm (P<0.001). With the family income rose, 
      the mean WC of men increased gradually from 81.9 cm to 84.7 cm (P<0.001), and the 
      mean of WC of women decreased from 78.8 cm to 77.6 cm (P<0.001). The AO rate was 
      25.7% (95% CI: 23.7%-27.7%) in adults aged 18 years and older. The AO rate in 
      urban males (29.8% (95%CI: 26.5%-33.1%)) was significantly higher than that of 
      rural males (22.3% (95%CI: 19.3%-25.2%)) (P=0.001). There was no significant 
      difference in the female AO rate between urban (25.6% (95%CI: 22.8%-28.4%)) and 
      rural areas (25.1% (95%CI: 22.2%-27.9%)) (P=0.772). With the increase of the 
      educational level, the AO rate of men increased from 20.1% (95%CI: 18.0%-22.1%) 
      to 32.6% (95%CI: 28.6%-36.6%) (P<0.001), the rate of women decreased gradually 
      from 31.3% (95%CI: 28.7%-33.9%) to 13.5% (95%CI: 10.9%-16.1%) (P<0.001). With the 
      increase of family income, the AO rate of male increased gradually from 23.3% 
      (95%CI: 20.7%-25.9%) to 31.8% (95%CI: 27.6%-36.1%) (P<0.001), the rate of female 
      decreased from 26.5% (95% CI: 24.2%-28.7%) to 20.0% (95% CI: 17.2%-22.8%) 
      (P<0.001). Conclusion: The prevalence of AO among Chinese residents aged 18 years 
      and above was high, and there were significant differences in WC and AO rate 
      between men and women under different age, region, educational level and family 
      income level.
