Abstract
⺠We assess joint association of adiposity and smoking with mortality. ⺠Coexistence of obesity with current smoking is associated with high risk of death. ⺠Overweight is associated with a higher risk of death in middle-aged never smokers. ⺠Associations of BMI with mortality vary by smoking status, age, and cause of death.
