Table 2. Mortality hazard association with HALS1 body size and shape.
| Hazard ratio per SD increase | Δi | R 2 | |
| ABSI (N) | 1.13 (1.09–1.16) | 0 | 0.008 |
| ABSI (H) | 1.18 (1.13–1.23) | 0.2 | 0.008 |
| BMI | 1.00 (0.96–1.05) | 55.6 | 0.000 |
| WC | 1.09 (1.03–1.14) | 43.3 | 0.002 |
| WHtR | 1.11 (1.06–1.16) | 34.6 | 0.003 |
Results of Cox proportional hazard modeling for mortality risk with ABSI, BMI, WC, or WHtR z scores at HALS1 taken as linear predictors. Ranges in parentheses are 95% confidence intervals.
SD = standard deviation; Δi = Akaike information criterion score difference relative to the best performing model shown (see Methods for details); R 2 = coefficient of determination; ABSI(N) and ABSI(H) refer to ABSI z scores calculated using NHANES or HALS normals, respectively.
