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.
