Body mass index and all‐cause mortality in older adults: a scoping review of observational studies
In older age, body composition changes as fat mass increases and redistributes. Therefore,
the current body mass index (BMI) classification may not accurately reflect risk in older …

Changes in physical activity and adiposity with all-cause, cardiovascular disease, and cancer mortality
Background The relationship between joint changes in physical activity and adiposity with
mortality is not well understood. We examined the association of changes in these two …

Stability in BMI over time is associated with a better cognitive trajectory in older adults
Objective Evidence on simultaneous changes in body mass index (BMI) and cognitive
decline, which better reflect the natural course of both health phenomena, is limited …

Overall and abdominal obesity and risks of all-cause and cause-specific mortality in Korean adults: a pooled analysis of three population-based prospective cohorts
Background Studies found a J-shaped association between body mass index (BMI) and
mortality. However, it is unclear whether the association is driven by biases, particularly …
