[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS R0x1d4BV. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. The associations between body weight, raised blood pressure, and mortality remain controversial. The authors examined these relations by considering all degrees of obesity in the Düsseldorf Obesity Mortality Study (1961-1994). Among 6,193 obese German patients aged 18-75 years and having a body mass index (BMI) of>=25 kg/m2,1,059 deaths were observed after a median follow-up of 14.8 years. The entire cohort was grouped into quartiles according to BMI (25-40 kg/m2) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) (180 mmHg). Cox proportional hazards analyses were performed to adjust for age. For women, the mortality risk curves for the four BMI groups in relation to SBP were flat without crossing, whereas the risk curve for moderately obese men (BMI 25-180 mmHg), moderately obese subjects (BMI 25-
