Abstract
The present study indicated a U-shaped association of BMI with all-cause mortality risk among black and white patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A significantly increased risk of all-cause mortality was observed among blacks with BMI <30 kg/m(2) and ≥35 kg/m(2) and among whites with BMI <25 kg/m(2) and ≥40 kg/m(2) compared with patients with BMI of 30 to 34.9 kg/m(2).
