This study determines effects of elevated body mass index (BMI) on type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) onset and its complications among U.S. elderly. Data came from the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS), 1991-2010. A Cox proportional hazard model was used to assess effects of elevated BMI at the first MCBS interview on DM diagnosis, complications, and insulin dependence onset among Medicare beneficiaries with no prior DM diagnosis and not enrolled in Medicare Advantage (N=14,657). Among DM-diagnosed individuals, elevated BMIs were associated with progressively higher risk of adverse outcomes. For women, hazard ratio (HR) of insulin dependence ranged from a 1.77 at 25 ≤ BMI ≤ 27.49 to 3.57 at BMI ≥ 40. A similar pattern was observed in risk for cardiovascular (HR=1.34 to HR=2.45), cerebrovascular (HR=1.30 to HR=2.00), renal (HR=1.31 to HR=2.23), and lower extremity complications (HR=1.41 to HR=2.95). In men, increased risks for DM complications occurred at higher BMI (27.5 ≤ BMI ≤ 29.99) levels than in women. Ocular complications occurred at higher BMI levels than other complication types in both genders. Having even moderately elevated BMI is associated with increased risk of developing DM complications.
