The caption of Figure 2B appears below.
“Linearized cumulative survival over time illustrated a protective effect of a higher BMI in a class (dose) dependent manner which occurs early and is long-lasting. Whereas, elevated mortality was observed in patients who were severely underweight (< 17.5 kg/m2, red, n = 12), patients with a BMI of 17.5–30.5 kg/m2 (green, n = 578) or >30.5 kg/m2 (blue, n = 53) were protected mirrored by a less negative slope that nearly plateaus after 3 years.”
There was a mistake in Figure 2B as published. The colors in the figure did not match the corresponding BMI categories in the legend. The corrected Figure 2B, appears below.
