  1. Adjusted hazard ratios reflect the odds of mortality during any day from hospital admission to the end-point. The referent group in BMI 18.5 to < 25.0 kg/m2. The models adjust for age, sex, race, marital status, education, smoking status, admission year, number of hospitalizations, household wealth, and household income
  2. Bolded numbers are statistically significant, p < 0.05
