  1. This table presents the Time Ratios for mortality across different LBMI categories and age groups, both crude and adjusted. A Time Ratio greater than 1 indicates longer survival time (lower risk of mortality) in the respective LBMI category or demographic group compared to the baseline, while a value less than 1 indicates shorter survival time (higher risk of mortality). Abbreviation: LBMI, lean body mass index.
