Hazard ratios for mortality from selected cancers per 5 kg/m2 increase in BMI across BMI groups in participants with no preexisting cancers. Analyses were adjusted for age, smoking, alcohol intake, household income, and physical activity. Cancers that had 10 or more cases in the 12–24.9 or 25–47 kg/m2 range among all participants were included. BMI = body mass index, CI = confidence interval, HR = hazard ratio.
