Analysis of Changes in Weight, Waist Circumference, or Both, and All-Cause Mortality in Chinese Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Although numerous studies have separately investigated the associations of changes in weight or waist circumference with mortality risk, few studies have examined the associations of concurrent changes in these 2 anthropometric parameters with all-cause mortality.

Objective

To assess the associations of changes in body weight, waist circumference, or both, combined with all-cause mortality.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study used data from 2 longitudinal cohort studies in Dongfeng-Tongji and Kailuan, China. Participants included 58 132 adults (aged 40 years and older) with measures of weight and waist circumference at baseline and follow-up visit. Statistical analysis was performed from June 2020 to September 2021.
