From: A Body Shape Index (ABSI) achieves better mortality risk stratification than alternative indices of abdominal obesity: results from a large European cohort

Figure 2

Hazard ratios for the association of obesity indices with all-cause mortality. ABSI—A Body Shape Index; BMI—Body Mass Index; HC—Hip Circumference; HI—Hip Index; WC—Waist Circumference; WHR—Waist-to-Hip Ratio; a–d—Hazard ratios (points) with 95% confidence intervals (segments) for the association of BMI (reference category 23.5 to < 25 kg/m2) with all-cause mortality before and after the addition of waist (a,c) and hip indices (b,d) in a delayed-entry Cox proportional hazards model, stratified for age group and study centre and adjusted for smoking status and intensity, attained education level, alcohol intake, physical activity and height (for categorisation of covariates see Supplementary Table S2 online); e–n—Hazard ratios for the association of waist indices (e–g,j–l) or hip indices (h,i,m,n) with all-cause mortality before (white points) and after the addition of BMI (grey points) and a further body-shape index (black points), as indicated in the legends; Q1–5—sex-specific quintile categories (Q1 reference, see cut-offs in Supplementary Table S1 online); Supplementary Fig. S2 online shows plots for the alternative waist indices.
