From: Association of temporal change in body mass index with sudden cardiac arrest in diabetes mellitus
SCA risk according to change in BMI
Risk of SCA was stratified by further subdivision of body weight change from baseline examination to 4 years follow-up. Underweight is defined as BMI < 18.5 (kg/m2), normal weight is defined as 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25, and overweight is defined as BMI > 25
Hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals were adjusted for age, sex, income, smoking status, alcohol consumption status, regular exercise, hypertension, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, fasting glucose, duration of diabetes mellitus, use of insulin, and use of multiple (≥ 3) oral hypoglycemic agent
SCA: sudden cardiac arrest; BMI: body mass index
