1.	Marcks, Nick, et al. (författare) Re-appraisal of the obesity paradox in heart failure : a meta-analysis of individual data 2021 Ingår i: Clinical Research in Cardiology. - : Springer Nature. - 1861-0684 .- 1861-0692. ; 110:8, s. 1280-1291 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract Background Higher body mass index (BMI) is associated with better outcome compared with normal weight in patients with HF and other chronic diseases. It remains uncertain whether the apparent protective role of obesity relates to the absence of comorbidities. Therefore, we investigated the effect of BMI on outcome in younger patients without co-morbidities as compared to older patients with co-morbidities in a large heart failure (HF) population. Methods In an individual patient data analysis from pooled cohorts, 5,819 patients with chronic HF and data available on BMI, co-morbidities and outcome were analysed. Patients were divided into four groups based on BMI (i.e. <= 18.5 kg/m(2), 18.5-25.0 kg/m(2); 25.0-30.0 kg/m(2); 30.0 kg/m(2)). Primary endpoints included all-cause mortality and HF hospitalization-free survival. Results Mean age was 65 +/- 12 years, with a majority of males (78%), ischaemic HF and HF with reduced ejection fraction. Frequency of all-cause mortality or HF hospitalization was significantly worse in the lowest two BMI groups as compared to the other two groups; however, this effect was only seen in patients older than 75 years or having at least one relevant co-morbidity, and not in younger patients with HF only. After including medications and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin concentrations into the model, the prognostic impact of BMI was largely absent even in the elderly group with co-morbidity. Conclusions The present study suggests that obesity is a marker of less advanced disease, but does not have an independent protective effect in patients with chronic HF. [GRAPHICS] .
