Text: Declines in MAC (per cm) and skinfold (per mm) measurements were associated with higher all-cause mortality (HRs of 1. 58 [95 % CI, 1. 29-1. 94 ; P < 0. 001] and 1. 06 [95 % CI, 0. 99-1. 13 ; P = 0. 09], respectively), poorer cardiac outcomes (HRs of 1. 49 [95 % CI, 1. 23-1. 81 ; P < 0. 001] and 1. 05 [95 % CI, 0. 99-1. 10 ; P = 0. 09], respectively), and higher infection-related hospitalization (HRs of 2. 45 [95 % CI, 1. 55-3. 88 ; P < 0. 001] and 1. 16 [95 % CI, 0. 98-1. 37 ; P = 0. 08], respectively).
