Abstract in brief

  • The study pooled data from 7 large cohort studies in Japan with over 353,000 adults to examine how body mass index (BMI) affects mortality from all causes, including cancer, heart disease, and stroke, over an average follow-up of 12.5 years.
  • Results showed a U- or J-shaped relationship for heart disease and stroke mortality, meaning both very low and very high BMIs increase risk, while a BMI of 21-27 was associated with the lowest overall and specific cause mortality.
  • In women, higher BMI levels showed an increased risk for all-cause and cancer mortality, and high BMI contributed to about 9-15% of total deaths; overall, maintaining a BMI between 21 and 27 was considered optimal for middle-aged and elderly Japanese for minimizing mortality risk.]
