Effects of body mass index and weight change on mortality in older men with impaired glucose regulation.

CONCLUSIONS: Both BMI at baseline and weight change have independent U-shaped associations with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among older men with IGR. The present study suggests that older men with IGR may ensure their best survival by being overweight at baseline or by maintaining their weight regardless of their baseline weight status.
