A1–8 Adjusted hazard ratio for in-hospital mortality according to age group and obesity categories. All hazard ratios were adjusted for gender, ethnicity, comorbidities, ICU types, and acute physiology score with Cox proportional hazard models. Normal weight was considered as the reference category. The bars represented 95% confidence interval. B Adjusted hazard ratio for in-hospital mortality associated with an increase of 1.0 kg/m2 body mass index. Hazard ratios were from separate Cox proportional hazard models tested within the different age groups, with body mass index entered as a continuous variable. All hazard ratios were adjusted for gender, ethnicity, comorbidities, ICU types, and acute physiology score. The test for trend was significant for in-hospital mortality (P < 0.001)
