Per multivariable analysis, both decreasing albumin level (as a continuous variable), hypoalbuminemia (vs. normoalbuminemia), and below-normal (vs. normal) BMI independently conferred a higher 10-year mortality risk (AdjHR for 1 g/dL-decrease 1.61, 95% CI 1.48–1.75, AdjHR 1.54, 95% CI 1.42–1.67, and AdjHR 1.98, 95% CI 1.52–2.58, respectively, all p < 0.001) (Table 3). This evidence concerns the gene ALB and Hypoalbuminemia.
