Whether the dynamic weight change is an independent risk factor for mortality remains controversial. This study aimed to examine the association between weight change and risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality based on the Linxian Nutrition Intervention Trial (NIT) cohort.
Body weight of 21,028 healthy residents of Linxian, Henan province, aged 40-69 years was measured two times from 1986 to 1991. Outcome events were prospectively collected up to 2016. Weight maintenance group (weight change <2 kg) or stable normal weight group was treated as the reference. Cox proportional hazard model was performed to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) to estimate the risk of mortality.
A total of 21,028 subjects were included in the final analysis. Compared with the weight maintenance group, subjects with weight loss ≥2 kg had an increased risk of death from all-cause (HR All-cause = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.09-1.19, P <0.001), cancer (HR Cancer = 1.12, 95% CI: 1.03-1.21, P = 0.009), and heart disease (HR Heart diseases = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.11-1.31, P <0.001), whereas subjects with weight gain ≥5 kg had 11% (HR Cancer = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.79-0.99, P = 0.033) lower risk of cancer mortality and 23% higher risk of stroke mortality (HR Stroke = 1.23,95% CI: 1.12-1.34, P <0.001). For the change of weight status, both going from overweight to normal weight and becoming underweight within 5 years could increase the risk of total death (HR Overweight to normal = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.09-1.27; HR Becoming underweight = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.25-1.46) and cancer death (HR Overweight to normal = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.04-1.39; HR Becoming underweight = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.24-1.67), while stable overweight could increase the risk of total death (HR Stable overweight = 1.11, 95% CI: 1.05-1.17) and death from stroke (HR Stable overweight = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.33-1.56). Interaction effects were observed between age and weight change on cancer mortality, as well as between baseline BMI and weight change on all-cause, heart disease, and stroke mortality (all Pinteraction <0.01).
Weight loss was associated with an increased risk of all-cause, cancer, and heart disease mortality, whereas excessive weight gain and stable overweight were associated with a higher risk of stroke mortality. Efforts of weight management should be taken to improve health status.

体重变化是否是死亡的独立危险因素仍存在争议。本研究旨在根据林县营养干预试验(NIT)队列,检查体重变化与全因和病因特异性死亡率之间的关联。
河南省林县 21028 名 40-69 岁健康居民的体重在 1986 年至 1991 年期间测量了两次。前瞻性收集直至 2016 年的结局事件。体重维持组(体重变化<2kg)或稳定正常体重组作为参考。采用 Cox 比例风险模型计算风险比(HR)和 95%置信区间(95%CI),以估计死亡率的风险。
共纳入 21028 名受试者进行最终分析。与体重维持组相比,体重减轻≥2kg 的受试者全因死亡风险增加(HR 全因=1.14,95%CI:1.09-1.19,P<0.001)、癌症死亡风险增加(HR 癌症=1.12,95%CI:1.03-1.21,P=0.009)和心脏病死亡风险增加(HR 心脏病=1.21,95%CI:1.11-1.31,P<0.001),而体重增加≥5kg 的受试者癌症死亡风险降低 11%(HR 癌症=0.89,95%CI:0.79-0.99,P=0.033),中风死亡风险增加 23%(HR 中风=1.23,95%CI:1.12-1.34,P<0.001)。对于体重状况的变化,体重在 5 年内从超重变为正常体重或变得消瘦都会增加总死亡(HR 超重变为正常=1.18,95%CI:1.09-1.27;HR 消瘦=1.35,95%CI:1.25-1.46)和癌症死亡(HR 超重变为正常=1.20,95%CI:1.04-1.39;HR 消瘦=1.44,95%CI:1.24-1.67)的风险,而稳定的超重会增加总死亡(HR 稳定超重=1.11,95%CI:1.05-1.17)和中风死亡(HR 稳定超重=1.44,95%CI:1.33-1.56)的风险。年龄和体重变化之间以及基线 BMI 和体重变化之间在癌症死亡率上观察到交互作用效应,以及在全因、心脏病和中风死亡率上均观察到交互作用效应(所有 P交互<0.01)。
体重减轻与全因、癌症和心脏病死亡风险增加有关,而过度体重增加和稳定超重与中风死亡风险增加有关。应努力进行体重管理,以改善健康状况。
