BACKGROUND: This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and the presence of arterial stiffness in rural-dwelling Chinese adults with primary hypertension. METHODS: Primary hypertension patients (n = 19,375) receiving an average of 4.5 years of antihypertension therapy were selected from the Chinese Stroke Primary Prevention Trial (mean age: 64.7 ± 7.4 years, male: 37.8%). Anthropometric, demographic, hemodynamic, and biochemical data were obtained. Arterial stiffness was assessed using brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). RESULTS: BMI was inversely associated with baPWV after adjusting for gender, age, smoking, alcohol consumption, center, pulse, SBP, DBP, FBG, TC, TG, HDL-C, BUN, Scr, UA, HCY, antidiabetes treatment, lipid-lowing treatment, and antihypertensive treatment (ß (SE): -10.72 (0.69), P < 0.0001). Quintile1 (Q1) was used as a reference; Q2, Q3, Q4, and Q5 groups were all inversely associated with baPWV. The ß increased with increasing BMI, ß (SE) was -20.29 (6.74), -30.66 (7.01), -51.82 (7.27), and -103.1 (7.62), respectively, for Q2 - Q5, P < 0.05. BMI remained inversely correlated with baPWV across differences in gender, center, blood pressure, lipid levels, and the presence or absence of diabetes subgroups. CONCLUSION: Increased BMI is a positive factor against the development of arterial stiffness in Chinese rural-dwelling adults with primary hypertension undergoing antihypertension treatments, after adjusting for confounding factors.
