Figure 1. Hazard ratios for mortality due to cardiovascular disease (CVD) according to body mass index (BMI), percent body fat (BF%) and fat mass index (FMI) groups in the whole study sample (N=57,910) and in the sub-sample with hydrostatic weighing assessment (N=29,959).

Body weight/body fat groups were estimated based on sex-specific centiles: Very low if < percentile 5^th, Low if percentile 5^th-15^th, Middle if percentile 15^th-85^th, High if percentile 85^th-95^th and Very high if above percentile 95^th.

All the models were adjusted for age, sex, examination year, smoking, alcohol consumption, inactivity and parental history of CVD.
