 Odds ratios (95% confidence interval) of healthy survival associated with hip circumferences assessed in 1986 in Nurses’ Health Study*

	<91 cm	91-96 cm	97-101 cm	102-106 cm	≥106 cm	P for trend†
Case/No	237/1318	336/1868	273/2000	138/1495	100/1658	—
Age adjusted	1.0	1.01 (0.84 to 1.20)	0.77 (0.64 to 0.93)	0.52 (0.41 to 0.65)	0.33 (0.26 to 0.42)	<0.001

*Baseline was 1986.

†Estimates of P value for linear trend based on linear scores derived from medians of each hip circumference category.

‡Multivariable model adjusted as in table 3 plus BMI and waist circumference at baseline.
