risk factors or complicating diseases has reduced mortality in all weight classes, the effects may have been greater at higher BMI levels than at
lower BMI levels.12 Because obesity is a causal
risk factor for

of this effect is seen in the findings as the deaths occur at similar time periods in the 3 cohorts, but cohorts recruited at later periods have an increase in the BMI associated with the
lowest mortality, possibly suggesting a period effect related to changes in clinical practice, such as improved treatments, or general public health status, such as decreased smoking or increased physical activity.
