Figure 4

Scatter plot of weight versus hip in men ≤65 yr (a) and ≥66 yr (b). Triangles denote cases and circles denote controls. The straight line in (b) represents the optimal linear discrimination between cases and controls in men ≥66 yr, and the 4 nonparallel straight lines in (a) represent the optimal linear discrimination between cases and controls in men ≤65 yr for the heights: 160, 170, 180, and 190 cm.
