Results of studies comparing overall obesity and abdominal adiposity or body fat distribution with risk of mortality have varied considerably. We compared the relative importance and joint association of overall obesity and body fat distribution in predicting risk of mortality. Participants included 5,799 men and 6,429 women aged 30-102 years enrolled in the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey who completed a baseline health examination during 1988-1994. During a 12-year follow-up (102,172 person-years), 1,188 men and 925 women died. In multivariable-adjusted analyses, waist-to-thigh ratio (WTR) in both sexes (P-trend = 30.0 kg/m(2)) adults. In older adults (65-102 years), a higher BMI in both sexes (P-trend
