Multivariable-adjusted Cox regression models for mortality as a function of DEXA-derived tissue composition using raw DEXA components.

	All-cause mortality (765/993)^*		Cardiovascular mortality (282/993)^*		Non-cardiovascular mortality (483/993)^*
	HR (95% CI)	p Value	HR (95% CI)	p Value	HR (95% CI)	p Value
Total fat mass (kg/m²)	0.97 (0.95, 0.997)	0.02	0.96 (0.92, 0.998)	0.04	0.98 (0.95, 1.01)	0.20
Trunk fat mass (kg/m²)	0.95 (0.91, 0.99)	0.02	0.93 (0.86, 0.996)	0.04	0.96 (0.91, 1.01)	0.13
Total lean mass (kg/m²)	0.98 (0.93, 1.02)	0.26	0.95 (0.89, 1.02)	0.15	0.99 (0.93, 1.05)	0.72
Appendicular lean mass (kg/m²)	0.89 (0.81, 0.97)	0.009	0.81 (0.70, 0.93)	0.003	0.94 (0.84, 1.05)	0.27

Models were adjusted for age, sex, race, education, income, smoking, physical activity, eGFRcys, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and total fat mass (for lean tissue measures) or total lean mass (for fat tissue measures). Total fat mass, trunk fat mass, lean mass and appendicular lean mass were modeled continuously based on the linear shape of the relationship in restricted cubic splines. Hazard ratios per 1 kg/m² of DEXA-derived tissue composition metrics are reported
