| Summary: | Aim. To study the association between body mass index (BMI) and cardiovascular (CV) death risk in an open population ofTumenCity, using prospective data of the 12-year follow-up. Material and methods. In 1996, a cardiologic screening of a representative Tumen City sample (25–64 years) was performed, using standard methods and achieving a response rate of 80,4% (n=1608). Over 12 years of the prospective follow-up, 85 CV deaths in men (10,69%) and 33 CV deaths in women (4,06%) were registered. Using Cox regression models, the parameters of absolute and relative risk (AR, RR) were assessed. Survival assessment was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results. In men, RR of CV death was significantly higher for the top quintile of body mass index, BMI ( |
