Diffuse astrocytoma (WHO grade II and III), oligodendroglioma, oligoastrocytoma
Time at risk (years) 54,817,758
Glioma No 827
BMI per 5 kg/m2 increase 0.93 (0.83–1.04); P =.20
Height per 10 cm increase 1.09 (0.98–1.21); P =.10
BMI category (kg/m2) <20 20–24.9 25–29.9 ≥30
HR (95% CIs) 1.18 (0.96–1.45) Ref 1.02 (0.86–1.21) 0.94 (0.67–1.33)

Cox regression model with age as the time axis, including sex, height,

BMI and birth year cohort; all P values derived from BMI or height as continuous variables.

Abbreviations: CIs, confidence intervals; HR, hazard ratio; Ref = reference group.
