Table 3 Association of overweight or obese BMI with conditional mortality

From: Overweight or obese BMI is associated with earlier, but not later survival after common acute illnesses

  1. Adjusted hazard ratios reflect odds of mortality for the time-period, conditional on survival to the prior time-period. For example, 30-day mortality is the hazard ratio for 30-day mortality, conditional survival to hospital discharge; 90-day mortality is the hazard ratio of 90-day mortality, conditional survival to 30 days. The referent group in BMI 18.5 to < 25.0 kg/m2. The models adjust for age, sex, race, marital status, education, smoking status, admission year, number of hospitalizations, household wealth, and household income
  2. Bolded numbers are statistically significant, p < 0.05
