N2 - Our study estimated the proportion of deaths from major noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) that could be prevented in Brazil by reducing population-wide body mass index (BMI) to different counterfactual (optimally theoretical) scenarios. We calculated population-attributable fractions by using BMI data from a representative national survey and relative risks from a published meta-analysis. Reductions in population-wide BMI could prevent 30,715 to 168,431 deaths from NCDs per year in Brazil. Cardiovascular diseases were the most preventable causes of death (5.8%-31.5% deaths prevented). Policies are needed to reduce population-wide BMI in Brazil. SN - 1545-1151 UR - https://doi.org/10.5888/pcd16.190143 DO - 10.5888/pcd16.190143 ER - 国产精品久久久久久一级毛片
