Body size and shape and mortality hazard.

Results of Cox proportional hazard modeling for mortality risk with ABSI, BMI, or WC, as well as sex, taken as linear predictors. Ranges in parentheses are 95% confidence intervals. The restricted models are unadjusted but included only those people who had all the measurements required for the adjusted model. The adjusted models included as additional predictors ethnicity, smoking, presence of diabetes, blood pressure, and serum cholesterol.This is the same as Table 2, but with ABSI, BMI, or WC, rather than their z scores, used as predictors.SD = standard deviation. The population standard deviations used here are for ABSI, for BMI, and for WC.

本研究针对死亡风险开展Cox比例风险模型（Cox proportional hazard model）分析，以ABSI、身体质量指数（BMI）、腰围（WC）以及性别作为线性预测变量。括号内的取值范围为95%置信区间。限制性模型未进行校正，但仅纳入了满足校正模型所需全部测量指标的受试者。校正模型额外纳入种族、吸烟情况、糖尿病患病情况、血压及血清胆固醇作为补充预测变量。本结果与表2一致，但本次分析以ABSI、BMI或WC作为预测变量，而非其标准化得分。SD即标准差（standard deviation），本次所用的人群标准差分别对应ABSI、BMI及WC。
