Aims/hypothesis This prospective association study aimed to compare the relationship
between each of four obesity indices and mortality risk in people with type 2 diabetes …

The relationship between obesity and mortality in people with type 2 diabetes has not been
definitely assessed. We have examined this issue in a well-characterized population-based …

Background The association between obesity indicators and mortality in individuals with
diabetes remains unclear, and data on cardiovascular mortality are scarce. Therefore, we …

Objective Several studies have found a U-shaped association between body mass index
(BMI) and mortality in the general population. In similar studies among people with diabetes …

Context The relationship between body mass index (BMI) and mortality may differ between
patients with type 1 diabetes and the general population; it is not known which clinical …

Aims The relationship between obesity and mortality rate among diabetic patients is a
controversial topic. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between obesity …

Background. To reconcile “the obesity paradox,” we tested if (1) the contribution of
anthropometric measures to mortality was nonlinear and (2) the confounding of hip …

Background Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are the most important
sequelae of obesity and the leading cause of death. We evaluated the association between …

Background An “obesity paradox” for mortality has been shown in chronic disorders such as
diabetes, and attributed to methodological bias, including the use of body mass index (BMI) …

Introduction A body shape index (ABSI) is independently associated with mortality in general
population, but studies on the predictability of ABSI in the risk of mortality in patients with …
