| Author | Risk of Dying by Age Group | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Guan et al. | <65 years | ≥65 years | ||
| 1 morbidity | ≥2 morbidities | 1 morbidity | ≥2 morbidities | |
| Hazard ratio | 2.21 (1.23; 3.96) | 3.33 (1.56; 7.13) | 1.80 (0.91; 3.55) | 2.72 (1.41; 5.27) |

| Relative risk | 17.14 (3.37; 87.27) | 12.35 (2.28; 66.77) | 1.25(0.43; 3.61) | 3.03 (1.15; 8.00) |

| 70–90 years | ||||
| Heart failure | Pulmonary disease | Diabetes | Kidney disease | |
| OR | 1.34 (1.10; 1.64) | 1.12 (0.93; 1.35) | 0.98 (0.82; 1.18) | 1.88 (1.57; 2.25) |
Note: No comorbidity, 18.5–24 kg/m2, no heart failure, no pulmonary disease, no diabetes, no kidney disease are the referent groups, respectively. BMI = Body mass index; OR = Odds raio.
