Adjusted for VA center and clinical characteristics: age at CRPC, race, year of CRPC diagnosis, treatment center, primary prostate cancer treatment, biopsy grade group, PSA at CRPC, and Charlson comorbidity index

The interaction between BMI (continuous) and Charlson comorbidity index (0, 1, 2, ≥3) was p=0.849 for metastases, p=0.672 for all-cause mortality, and p=0.942 for prostate cancer-specific mortality.
