[quote=Anonymous]Surprising. Mortality risk following surgery. “3,245 (1.7%) out of the 189,533 individuals included in the examination died within 30 days following surgery. The team reported that the percentage of deaths (2.8%) among individuals whose BMI was lower than 23.1 was more than two times that of the percentage of deaths (1%) among individuals whose BMI was 35.3 or higher. Furthermore, they found that statistically there was a considerable increased risk (40%) of death among individuals who had a BMI of less than 23.1, compared to those with a BMI of between 26.3 and 29.6. “These results indicate that BMI is significant predictor of mortality within 30 days of surgery, even after adjusting for the contribution to mortality risk made by type of surgery and for a specific patient’s overall expected risk of death.” https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/238142#3[/quote]
