Abstract
BACKGROUND: Waist circumference (WC) measured at one point in time is positively associated with the risk of acute myocardial infarction (MI), but the association with changes in WC (DWC) is not clear. We investigated the association between DWC and the risk of MI in middle-aged men and women, and evaluated the influence from concurrent changes in BMI (DBMI). METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPALEntities:

Figure 1Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of myocardial infarction (MI) according to changes in body mass index (BMI).
Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index. HR, hazard ratio. MI, myocardial infarction Lines are the hazard ratios (shaded areas the 95% confidence intervals) derived from Cox proportional hazard models with changes in changes in body mass index included as restricted cubic splines (3 knots). Reference points are the mean of changes in body mass index. Adjusted for: sex, years between examinations, age, chronic diseases, smoking, Mediterranean diet score, energy intake, education, drinking pattern, sports activity, body mass index in 1993–97, waist circumference in 1993–97 and changes in waist circumference.
