Body mass index (BMI) is a known indicator of all‐cause mortality. However, conventional BMI does not reflect the three‐dimensional human body. To overcome this limitation, a new BMI has been proposed that provides a closer approximation of real human body shape. This study investigated the associations between the new BMI and poor outcomes in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody‐associated vasculitis (AAV).
