Fig. 3

HRs of log NT-proBNP levels considered as continuous variables for both outcomes in the body composition subgroups. The prognostic performance of the NT-proBNP level for all-cause mortality (a–c) and cardiovascular death (d–f) is attenuated with increasing BMI, LMI, and BF. HR hazard ratio; NT-proBNP N-terminal-pro B-type natriuretic peptide; BMI body mass index; LMI lean mass index; BF body fat
