Number of subjects and hazard ratio (with 95% confidence interval) of short-term annual changes in BMI (highest increase and highest decrease in BMI between two subsequent observations) for mortality from all cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer among all 3864 subjects.

<p>Prostate cancer among 2050 males and breast cancer among 1814 females in Cox regression with adjustment for age, smoking habits, and place of residence. Highest increase in BMI: No increase = < 0.10 kg/m²/yr, moderate increase = 0.10–0.50 kg/m²/yr, high increase = > 0.50 kg/m²/yr. Highest decrease in BMI: No decrease = > -0.10 kg/m²/yr, moderate decrease = -0.10- -0.50 kg/m²/yr, high decrease = < -0.50 kg/m²/yr. Statistically significant results are shown in bold.</p><p>Number of subjects and hazard ratio (with 95% confidence interval) of short-term annual changes in BMI (highest increase and highest decrease in BMI between two subsequent observations) for mortality from all cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer among all 3864 subjects.
