BMI in adolescence predicts adult cardiovascular mortality

BMI in adolescence predicts adult cardiovascular mortality
These data are from a large population study from Israel and show that BMI during late adolescence was associated with cardiovascular mortality in mid-adulthood. The hazard ratio for death is compared with the reference group with BMI between the 5th and 24th percentiles.
BMI: body mass index.
Data from: Twig G, Yaniv G, Levine H, et al. Body-mass index in 2.3 million adolescents and cardiovascular death in adulthood. N Engl J Med 2016; 374:2430.
