From: A Body Shape Index (ABSI) achieves better mortality risk stratification than alternative indices of abdominal obesity: results from a large European cohort

Figure 3

Kaplan–Meier estimates of 15-year probability of death for categories by BMI and waist index. ABSI—A Body Shape Index; BMI—Body Mass Index; WC—Waist Circumference; WHR—Waist-to-Hip Ratio; Waist indices were categorised as sex-specific cohort-wide quartiles (see cut-offs in Supplementary Table S1 online); Bars—the width for waist indices represents the proportion of the individuals in the corresponding waist quartile from the total number of individuals in the corresponding BMI category, colour-coded from white for the lowest to dark for the highest quartile; No waist—probability estimates for the total BMI category, without further stratification according to any waist index; d—number of deaths from all causes recorded during the first 15 years of follow-up per BMI category; n—number of individuals per BMI category; Supplementary Fig. S3 online shows plots for the alternative waist indices.
