Contemporary Management of Cardiometabolic Risk
- Adams et al prospectively examined the relationship between body weight and all-cause mortality in 527,265 US men and women enrolled in the National Institutes of Health-AARP Diet and Health Study.
- Study participants were enrolled between 1995-1996, when they were 50 to 71 years of age. The study investigators monitored participant survival through December 31, 2005 via annual linkage of the cohort to the Social Security Administration Death Master File.
- During follow-up, 42,173 men and 19,144 women died. Investigators observed a J-shaped relationship between BMI and risk of death (adjusted for age, race/ethnic group, education level, smoking, physical activity, and alcohol intake). Adiposity was independently associated with increased risk of death.
