Normal body mass index

1. Normal body mass index decreases China-PAR in humans (average slope 0.33% vs 0.42%).

   “normal BMI (< 25 kg/m2) could effectively slow the increase of CVD risk during lifespan (average slope: 0.42% vs. 0.33%)”

1. Normal body mass index lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease in humans (3.02% (95%CI: 2.69%, 3.35%) at age 74).

   “Risk difference between overweight/obesity and normal BMI groups gradually climbed from -0.10% (95%CI: -0.47%, 0.28%) to 3.02% (95%CI: 2.69%, 3.35%) between ages 35-74.”
