Dose–response association between anthropometric measures and risk of all-cause mortality. Solid red lines are multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios, with shaded areas showing 95% confidence intervals derived from restricted cubic spline regressions with four knots. Multivariate models were adjusted for baseline age, sex, marital status, education, residence, smoking status, drinking status, regular exercise, intake of fruit, intake of vegetables, intake of meat, intake of fish, hypertension, heart disease, diabetes mellitus, cerebrovascular disease, respiratory disease, and cancer, and further adjusted for calf circumference in the waist circumference model, waist circumference in the calf circumference model, and waist circumference and calf circumference in the body mass index model
