Adjusted Time Ratios of age for Mortality. Age group-specific adjusted time ratios for mortality across various factors. Each figure presents the adjusted time ratios for mortality within specific age groups: (A) all age groups, (B) 20–49 years, (C) 50–69 years, and (D) > 70 years. These ratios were adjusted for a range of factors, including LBMI categories, sex, diabetes, hypertension, and albumin. The squares indicate the point estimates of adjusted time ratios, with horizontal lines depicting 95% Confidence Intervals. An adjusted time ratio > 1 signified longer survival time (lower risk of mortality) associated with that factor, whereas a value < 1 indicated a shorter survival time (higher risk). Abbreviation: LBMI, lean body mass index; DM, diabetes mellitus; HTN, hypertension.
