OBJECTIVES: We examined whether @entity28 based on body mass index (BMI) was a predictor of @entity177 ( @entity177 ) at 6   months after @entity64 onset while adjusting for @entity64 risk factors and covariates and stratifying by age group. DESIGN: This is an interim report of the @entity64 Cohort for Functioning and Rehabilitation that was designed as a nested case study within a nationwide hospital-based cohort. SETTING: We identified all @entity1 who were admitted to nine representative hospitals in Korea from 2012 until 2014 under a diagnosis of acute first-ever @entity64 . The hospitals were selected from the metropolitan district, mid-sized cities and a small-sized city. @entity1 : The sample included 2057 @entity1 with acute @entity64 who were at least 18   years old. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: We divided @entity1 into two age levels (<65 and >= 65   years). @entity1 were classified into five groups according to their baseline BMI at admission: underweight (BMI<18.5), normal (18.5 <=BMI<23), overweight (23 <=BMI<25), @entity28 (25 <=BMI<30) and extremely @entity28 (30 <=BMI). RESULTS: The proportion of @entity1 who were aged >= 65   years was 55.0%. The proportions of underweight, normal, overweight, @entity28 @entity1 were 2.6%, 24.3%, 29.6%, 37.2% and 6.3%, respectively, in the <65   years group and 5.5%, 34.5%, 27.9%, 28.8% and 3.3%, respectively, in the >= 65   years group. In a multiple linear regression, the 6-month @entity177 after @entity64 in the elderly group was significantly associated with being extremely @entity28 (7.95, p<0.05) after adjusting for confounding variables. In the <65   years group, the 6-month @entity177 was not associated with any weight category. CONCLUSIONS: This nationwide hospital-based cohort study showed that extreme @entity28 is a predictor of a good 6-month @entity177 , especially in @entity1 with @entity64 who are at least 65   years of age.
