Fig. 3

Meta-analysis of prospective studies on the risk of prostate cancer death in relation to body fat percentage (A), waist circumference (B), and waist to hip ratio (C). Study-specific hazard ratios (HR) are represented by squares (with their 95% confidence intervals [CIs] as lines). HRs were combined using inverse-variance-weighted averages of the log HRs in the separate studies, yielding a result and its 95% CI, which is plotted as a diamond. Please see Supplementary Tables 2 and 3 for further details about each study.
