Association between body mass index and mortality in non-Hispanic blacks
1. Examine the association between BMI (categorically and continuously) and all-cause mortality among non-Hispanic blacks in PLCO (n=7,831). 2. Examine the association between BMI and cause-specific mortality (cancer, cardiovascular disease, and "other") among non-Hispanic blacks in PLCO. 3. Compare the association between BMI and mortality among non-Hispanic blacks and non-Hispanic whites in PLCO.
