Fig 2
Risk of all-cause mortality by BMI category and muscle mass status.
Bars indicate prevalence of low muscle mass in each BMI category. One participant with BMI >35 (38 kg/m2) had low muscle mass and was grouped with participants with BMI 30-<35 kg/m2 for statistical analysis. Models adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, smoking status, physical activity level, and education. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals.
