Increased BMI is significantly associated with a higher risk of hypertension-diabetes comorbidity, hypertension, and DM in elderly population of China. Additionally, Han participants (versus non-Han) have a notably greater risk of developing hypertension-diabetes comorbidity, hypertension, and DM. Greater attention should be paid to obesity in elderly Han Chinese individuals, given its significant associated disease burden.
