BMI and risk of all-cause mortality in normotensive and hypertensive adults: the rural Chinese cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The impact of baseline hypertension status on the BMI-mortality association is still unclear. We aimed to examine the moderation effect of hypertension on the BMI-mortality association using a rural Chinese cohort.

Design

In this cohort study, we investigated the incident of mortality according to different BMI categories by hypertension status.

Setting

Longitudinal population-based cohort.

Participants

17 262 adults ≥18 years were recruited from July to August of 2013 and July to August of 2014 from a rural area in China.

Results

During a median 6-year follow-up, we recorded 1109 deaths (610 with and 499 without hypertension). In adjusted models, as compared with BMI 22-24 kg/m2, with BMI ≤ 18, 18-20, 20-22, 24-26, 26-28, 28-30 and >30 kg/m2,
