Figure 2. Risk of diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia by gender

Caption

In women, the risk of diabetes and hypertension rises significantly as BMI increases. However, the risk of dyslipidemia was lower and peaked at the grade 1 classification of obesity (slightly obese). The graph shows the odds ratio with people of normal weight given a reference value of 1.00 for disease risk. The straight lines with the odds ratios have 95% confidence intervals.
