ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To assess BMI range with the lowest mortality for those aged <65 years and those ≥65 years, utilising cohort studies that spanned the entire adult age range.DESIGN:
A two-stage random effects meta-analysis of studies that reported mortality in cohorts both ≥65 years and <65 years. Setting /Participants:
Community living adults aged ≥65 and <65 years.RESULTS:
Eight studies were included with a total of 370 416 subjects (306 340 aged <65 years; 64 076 ≥65 years). In the older age group, mortality risk increased at BMIs lower than 22 (BMI range 21.0-21.9 hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval (CI)) 1.05 (1.03, 1.07)), which was not seen in younger adults. In the younger group, mortality increased from BMI range 28.0-28.9 (HR (95% CI) 1.13 (1.00, 1.29)), but mortality did not tend to increase significantly in the older group at BMIs above 23.CONCLUSION:
The recommended healthy weight range is appropriate for younger and middle aged adults but a higher BMI range should be recommended for older adults based on mortality.Palabras clave
