2 Figure 1 Three-year mortality in 529 coronary patients who attended cardiac rehabilitation grouped by body mass index (BMI). Mortality was inversely related with BMI (P <.0001). The American Journal of Medicine  , DOI: ( /j.amjmed ) Copyright © 2009 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

3 Figure 2 All-cause mortality in 529 coronary patients following formal cardiac rehabilitation: (A) divided by baseline body mass index (BMI); (B) divided by baseline percent body fat (>25% in men and >35% in women); and (C) in 393 patients with baseline BMI ≥25 kg/m2, divided by median weight change.
