Abstract：Objective To explore the association between types of obesity and 10-year risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) among hypertensive patients, so as to provide the basis for formulating ASCVD prevention strategies for hypertensive patients. Methods From January to December 2021, hypertensive patients who were under follow-up management and completed health examinations at three community health service centers in Linping District, Hangzhou City were selected by a cluster sampling method. Basic information, lifestyle, disease history, height, weight, waist circumference (WC), and blood biochemical indicators were collected through health examination data. Based on assessments of body mass index (BMI) and WC, participants were categorized into four types: non-obese, general obesity only, central obesity only, and combined obesity. The Prediction for ASCVD risk in China (China-PAR) was used to assess 10-year ASCVD risk, which was categorized as low, moderate, and high risk. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between different types of obesity and ASCVD risk among hypertensive patients. Results A total of 10 408 hypertensive patients were included, with a median age of 68.00 (interquartile range, 10.00) years. There were 4 301 (41.32%) males and 6 107 (58.68%) females. The proportions of non-obese, general obesity only, central obesity only, and combined obesity were 34.93% (3 635 individuals), 22.85% (2 378 individuals), 4.32% (450 individuals), and 37.90% (3 945 individuals), respectively. There were 3 389 (33.52%) cases at high risk of ASCVD. Among them, high ASCVD risk was observed in 1 107 (30.45%), 896 (37.68%), 122 (27.11%), and 1 364 (34.58%) patients with non-obese, general obesity only, central obesity only, and combined obesity, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for gender, age, smoking, drinking, physical activity, and diabetes, the risk of high ASCVD in hypertensive patients with general obesity only and combined obesity was 1.383 times (95%CI: 1.235-1.548) and 1.225 times (95%CI: 1.109-1.354) that of non-obese hypertensive patients, respectively. Conclusions General obesity only and combined obesity can increase the 10-year high risk of ASCVD among hypertensive patients. It is necessary to strengthen comprehensive management of body weight and WC among hypertensive patients to reduce the risk of ASCVD.
