Figure 1. Estimated Hazard Ratios for Death from Any Cause According to Body-Mass Index for All Study Participants and for Healthy Subjects Who Never Smoked.
Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals are shown for white women (Panel A) and white men (Panel B). The hazard ratios were calculated with the use of age as the underlying time scale, were stratified by study, and were adjusted for alcohol intake (grams per day), educational level, marital status, and overall physical activity. Subjects were deemed healthy if they had no cancer or heart disease at baseline.
