Fig. 2

A (left): Association of body mass index with COVID-19 hospital admission stratified by ethnic group, with the reference (HR = 1) placed at body mass index of 22.5 kg/m2 for white ethnicities. B (right): Hazard of COVID-19 hospital admission in South Asian, Black and other ethnic minority groups, relative to white ethnicities (HR = 1), across body mass index as a continuous variable. Shaded area as 95% CI. Data adjusted for region, population density, urban/rural classification, deprivation (area and household), social grade, qualification, household size and tenure, household composition (multigenerational, with children), key worker status and type, occupational exposure to disease, occupational exposure to others. The c-index for the model was 0.787 indicating a good fit.
