IFG risk by baseline BMI and BMI change estimated using generalized additive models.

<p>Absolute risk for development (a: men, b: women) and persistence (c: men, d: women) of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) by baseline BMI (y-axis) and ∆BMI (x-axis) for 30 year old individuals. Green indicates a low, yellow intermediate and red high risk. Contour lines (red lines) represent combinations of baseline BMI and BMI change being associated with the same risk. For example when looking at Fig 2a, at the “0.15” contour line (representing a 15% risk): There are men with a low baseline BMI and small BMI increase, and there are men with a high baseline BMI and pronounced weight decrease. Those men are at the same risk for development of IFG. Rather horizontal contour lines indicate baseline BMI is more strongly associated with IFG risk, rather vertical contour lines indicate BMI change is more strongly associated with IFG risk.</p
