U-shaped BMI-mortality link in T2D warrants vigilance at extremes; leaves open optimal targets for prospective trials.
Is body mass index associated with total and cardiovascular mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes?
There is a U-shaped association between BMI and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes, suggesting both low and high BMI are associated with increased risk.
Khalangot et al. (2008) studied this question.
