Lack of evidence for obesity paradox in patients with cardiovascular diseases: A UK BioBank cohort study

2025-01-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Obesity paradox, a phenomenon that obesity seems to be associated with reduced risk of mortality in patients with established cardiovascular disease (CVD), has been controversial. We aimed to use Mendelian randomization to examine the causal relationship between obesity measures and CVD mortality in patients with known CVD in the UK BioBank study cohort. <h4>Methods</h4> A total of 58,278 parti...
