The escalating prevalence of obesity has been linked to substantial increases in both
metabolic and cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, the direct effects of obesity on …

Clinical observations suggest a complex relationship between human obesity and
cardiovascular disease. Whilst abdominal (visceral) adiposity leads to deleterious metabolic …

Objectives To examine whether an accurate measure (using a criterion standard method) of
total body fat would be a better predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality than …

Background: There is a lack of studies that evaluate the association between abdominal
obesity and subsequent outcomes in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection …

Despite a strong association between body weight and mortality in the general population,
clinical evidence suggests better clinical outcome of overweight or obese individuals with …

Obesity is already a major global public health issue, implicated in a vast array of conditions
affecting multiple body systems. It is now also firmly established as an independent risk …

In older age, body composition changes as fat mass increases and redistributes. Therefore,
the current body mass index (BMI) classification may not accurately reflect risk in older …

Purpose: We evaluate the association between severe skeletal muscle deficiency or
sarcopenia, and disease progression, cancer specific mortality and all cause mortality in …

Objectives The objectives of this article are to demonstrate that the obesity paradox may be
explained by collider stratification bias and to estimate the biasing effects of unmeasured …

Objectives: This study sought to determine whether body mass index (BMI) has a differential
impact on survival for females versus males with advanced systolic heart failure (HF) …
