Abstract
An observational study with a 12-year follow-up in the general population reported that the relative risk for mortality associated with an increased body mass index (BMI) declined with age [3]. The linear trend for hazard ratio with an increase of 1.0 in BMI across age groups was tested by Cox regression analysis with inverse-variance weighted average. [...]our data are in concert with the obesity paradox and suggest that age has a modifying effect on the association between BMI and in-hospital mortality.
