Figure 3 The relationship between thigh circumference and mortality of interest. The association of thigh circumference with all-cause mortality (A), cardiovascular mortality (B) and cerebrovascular mortality (C) were shown after controlling for age, gender, body mass index, waist circumference, moderate activity, total cholesterol, anti-diabetic drugs, estimated glomerular filtration rate, smoking status, race, baseline cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. The solid lines represented the hazard ratios of thigh circumference and the shadowed area represented the corresponding 95% confidence intervals.
