Body mass index and survival in people with heart failure
- Abstract:
-
Background
People with obesity are twice as likely to develop heart failure (HF) compared to people with a healthy body mass index (BMI) [1]. However, among people with HF a higher BMI has been linked to a reduced risk of all-cause mortality, a concept known as the “obesity paradox” [2].
Purpose
To examine the association between BMI and survival in patients with chronic HF among a large primary care cohort.
