The association between BMI and mortality using offspring BMI as an indicator of own BMI: large intergenerational mortality study
OBJECTIVES To obtain valid estimates of the association between body mass index (BMI) and mortality by using offspring BMI as an instrumental variable for own BMI. DESIGN Cohort study based on record linkage, with 50 years of follow-up for mortality. Associations of offspring BMI with all cause and cause specific maternal and paternal mortality were estimated as hazard ratios per standard dev...
متن کاملBMI and Lifetime Changes in BMI and Cancer Mortality Risk
Body Mass Index (BMI) is known to be associated with cancer mortality, but little is known about the link between lifetime changes in BMI and cancer mortality in both males and females. We studied the association of BMI measurements (at baseline, highest and lowest BMI during the study-period) and lifetime changes in BMI (calculated over different time periods (i.e. short time period: annual ch...
متن کاملThe skinny on BMI and mortality.
Evidence Various systematic reviews of observational studies in the general population evaluate all-cause mortality and BMI.1-10 • The review with the most studies1 (97 studies, 2.88 million participants) found the following relative risks (RRs) compared with normal BMI (18.5-24.9 kg/m2): -overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m2), RR = 0.94; -obese, grade I (30.0-35.0 kg/m2), RR = 0.95; and -obese, grade I...
متن کاملSources of heterogeneity in studies of the BMI-mortality association
BACKGROUND To date, the amount of heterogeneity among studies of the body mass index-mortality association attributable to differences in the age distribution and length of follow-up has not been quantified. Therefore, we wanted to quantify the amount of heterogeneity attributable to age and follow-up in results of studies on the body mass index-mortality relation. METHODS We used optima of t...
متن کاملExamining the BMI-mortality relationship using fractional polynomials
BACKGROUND Many previous studies estimating the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and mortality impose assumptions regarding the functional form for BMI and result in conflicting findings. This study investigated a flexible data driven modelling approach to determine the nonlinear and asymmetric functional form for BMI used to examine the relationship between mortality and obesity. Thi...
