Multivariable Cox Regression of all-cause mortality in relation to the interactions between body mass index and metabolic health status. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of all-cause mortality in relation to the interactions between body mass index (BMI) categories and metabolic health status, with metabolically healthy normal weight (MHN) as the reference group. We present Cox regression models adjusted for sex, education, and smoking; and with + CVD adjustment adjusted for sex, education, smoking and CVD. Bold numbers denote significance at the α ≤ 0.05 level. Abbreviations: CVD—history of cardiovascular disease, MUN – metabolically unhealthy normal, MHOw – metabolically healthy overweight, MUOw – metabolically unhealthy overweight, MHO – metabolically healthy obese and MUO – metabolically unhealthy obese. Normal weight is defined as having BMI 18.5 – 24.9 kg/m2; overweight 25 – 29.9 kg/m2; obesity ≥ 30.0 kg/m2. MU is defined as having ≥ 2 abnormal metabolic abnormalities
