Abbreviation: HR, hazard ratio.

a

Per 1 SD of body mass index variability.

b

Model 1 adjusted for age, sex, mean body mass index, diabetes, smoking history, high-density lipoprotein, systolic blood pressure, blood pressure therapy, total cholesterol level, and statin use.

c

Model 2 adjusted for model 1 covariates plus polygenic risk score for body mass index trait.

d

Model 3 adjusted for model 1 covariates plus physical activity (n = 45 038).
