Secondary analyses were also performed by grouping patients into the 4 BMI [body mass index] categories endorsed by the National Institutes of Health: underweight ([less than]18.5 kg/m²), healthy weight (18.5-24.9 kg/m²), overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m²), and obese ([greater than or equal to] 30.0 kg/m²). ... By weight category, patients who were overweight and obese had mortality risks that were 26.1% and 47.8%, respectively, lower as compared with the mortality risk of healthy-weight patients with HF [heart failure], whereas patients who were underweight had a 37.0% increase in risk. ... Overweight and obese BMI subgroups in this trial were at significantly decreased risk for all-cause mortality (0.88 and 0.81, respectively) as compared with healthy-weight individuals. 3, record 1, English, - normal%20weight

What is a healthy weight? If you asked a fitness trainer he or she might say, "The weight at which you look and feel your best, or the weight at which you perform your best." If you ask your doctor the reply might be, "the weight range for a given height that corresponds to the lowest risk of disease or early mortality." These are all good answers. Speaking from the health standpoint, a healthy weight is that weight which gives you the best health and the best chance for a long, enjoyable life. 4, record 2, English, - normal%20weight

poids-santé : Ce terme est d'usage correct même si, en théorie, il ne devrait pas prendre le trait d'union. À l'intérieur du terme, «santé» vient qualifier «poids». Le mot «santé» est donc un nom jouant le rôle d'un adjectif. En français, lorsque l'on combine un nom et un adjectif, il ne faut pas mettre de trait d'union. La présence du trait d'union découle sans doute du fait que les mots «poids» et «santé» sont considérés au premier niveau comme deux noms, ce qui ne correspond pas à leur fonction grammaticale dans ce terme. 6, record 2, French, - poids%20normal
