Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals of mortality according to changes in body mass index (DBMI) and changes in waist circumference (DWC).

†Adjusted for smoking habits, Mediterranean diet score, energy intake, education, drinking pattern, sports activity, menopausal status (women only).
‡DWC and baseline WC added to analyses of DBMI and DBMI and baseline BMI added to analyses of DWC.
All associations were accepted to be linear, except §.

* 在联合分析中，校正了两次检查间隔时长、1999-2002年时的年龄、基线体重指数（Body Mass Index，BMI，对应DBMI分析）、基线腰围（Waist Circumference，WC，对应DWC分析）以及性别。
† 校正了吸烟习惯、地中海饮食评分、能量摄入、受教育程度、饮酒模式、体育活动以及绝经状态（仅女性）。
‡ 在DBMI分析中纳入DWC与基线WC，在DWC分析中纳入DBMI与基线BMI。
除§项外，所有关联均被认定为线性关联。
