Studies investigating the correlation between high body mass index (BMI) and AS are contradictory and inconclusive.

Diagnosis of AS and comorbidities were defined according to the\n              <jats:italic>International Classification of Diseases<\/jats:italic>\n              (\n              <jats:italic>ICD<\/jats:italic>\n              ) codes. The women were divided into groups on the basis of BMI.

Among the 1\u2009722\u2009625 included women, the mean age was 28\u2009years, and mean BMI was 24\u2009kg\/m\n              <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n              , with 21% being overweight (BMI 25 to &lt;30\u2009kg\/m\n              <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n              ) and 8.5% obese (BMI \u226530\u2009kg\/m\n              <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n              ). During median follow\u2010up of 19.5\u2009years, 2488 women (0.14%) were diagnosed with AS. The age\u2010adjusted risk of being diagnosed with AS increased with higher BMI to 2.82 (95% CI, 2.44\u20133.25) times higher in women with BMI 30 to &lt;35\u2009kg\/m\n              <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n              , and to 3.72 (95% CI, 2.95\u20134.70) times higher in those with BMI \u226535\u2009kg\/m\n              <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n              .
