The Relationship between Body Mass Index and Incident Diabetes Mellitus in Chinese Aged Population: A Cohort Study

Figure 1

Hazard ratio for diabetes mellitus based on continuous change in BMI based on measurements in 2014 among 6,911 Chinese elderly people. Model was adjusted for age (y), sex, systolic blood pressure (mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (mmHg), total cholesterol (mmol/L), triglyceride (mmol/L), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (mmol/L), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (mmol/L), and eGFR (mL/min per 1.73 m²). Data were fitted by a restricted cubic spline Cox proportional hazards model. The 95% confidence intervals are indicated by the dashed line.
