Introduction: J relationships of body mass index (BMI) with mortality have been described. However, little data are available on long-term follow-up in controlled clinical trials with respect to cardiovascular (CV) and all cause mortality. Hypothesis: We tested whether there is a J shape relationship between BMI with CV and all cause mortality at 22 years in the Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly Program (SHEP). Methods: SHEP was a placebo controlled, randomized clinical trial of antihypertensive therapy in patients with isolated systolic hypertension aged 60 and older. The relationship between CV and all cause mortality with baseline BMI was examined in 4,211 SHEP participants. Results: In unadjusted analyses, a J relationship was observed for all-cause mortality (linear term p=0.0318, quadratic term p=0.3217 and tricubic term p=0.0046) and for CV mortality (linear term p=0.0962, quadratic term p=0.6866 and tricubic term p=0.0908, left figure). The lowest risk was at a BMI of 25.9 for all-cause and 25.5 for CV mortality. The J shaped relationship between BMI and mortality was attenuated after adjustment for age, gender, comorbidities (e.g. diabetes, heart failure) and risk factors for CV disease (e.g. smoking and dyslipidemia, right figure). Age and gender were significant predictors of both all- cause and CV mortality: age p<0.0001, female gender p=0.0063 for all-cause mortality and p<0.0001 for age and p=0.0004 for female gender for CV mortality. <br/Conclusions: This study indicates that both very low and very high BMI are markers of high risk. The J relationship between BMI and mortality is mediated by age, female gender, comorbidities and risk factors for CV disease.

In this study based on a large nationally representative sample of Korean adults, we investigated the potential associations of the body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) with mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis. We obtained the data of 18,699 participants >20 years of age who were followed up with for 4 years and for whom BMI and WC information were available, using a nationally representative dataset from the Korean National Health Insurance System. Patients were stratified into five levels by their baseline BMI and into six levels by their WC (5-cm increments). A total of 4975 deaths occurred during a median follow-up period of 48.2 months. Participants with a higher BMI had a lower mortality rate than those with a lower BMI. In a fully adjusted Cox regression analysis, being overweight and obese was associated with a significantly lower relative risk of all-cause mortality relative to the reference group. Conversely, the mortality rate was higher among participants with a high WC than among those with a low WC. Participants with the highest WC had a higher risk of mortality, while those with the lowest WC level had a significantly lower risk of mortality. In conclusion, all-cause mortality was positively associated with WC, a measure of abdominal obesity, and inversely associated with BMI, a measure of body volume, in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the association of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and BMI and WC changes over time with cognitive decline in a nationally representative sample. Methods: A total of 5239 participants (≥65 years) were followed for 3 years as part of the National Health and Aging Trends Study. Cox proportional hazard regression was applied to model the risk of cognitive decline. Results: BMI, after adjusting for WC and main confounders, was associated with reduced risk of cognitive decline (hazard ratio [HR] 0.97 for each unit BMI increase, 0.95-0.99). After stratifying by gender and age, this effect remained significant among females and young elders ≤80 years. A BMI decrease and WC increase >10% over the study period were associated with increased risk of cognitive decline (HR 1.98, 1.16-3.38; HR 1.30, 1.04-1.62, respectively). Conclusion: In the elderly individuals, lean mass, as measured by BMI adjusted for WC, was associated with reduced risk of cognitive decline. Loss of lean mass and gain of fat mass, as measured by WC adjusted for BMI, were associated with elevated risk of cognitive decline.
