Elevated body mass index was a significant independent risk factor for long-term all-cause mortality in younger patients (≤60 years) with chronic coronary syndromes (OR 1.22).

Does elevated BMI and physiological indices predict long-term all-cause mortality differently in younger versus older patients with chronic coronary syndromes?
Elevated BMI is a significant independent risk factor for long-term mortality in younger patients with chronic coronary syndromes, whereas the 'obesity paradox' may apply to older patients where comorbidities drive prognosis.
Effect estimate: OR 1.22 (95% CI 1.04-1.42)
p-value: p=0.01
Zasada et al. (Mon,) conducted a cohort in Chronic coronary syndromes (n=334). Elevated Body Mass Index was evaluated on All-cause mortality (OR 1.22, 95% CI 1.04-1.42, p=0.01). Elevated body mass index was a significant independent risk factor for long-term all-cause mortality in younger patients (≤60 years) with chronic coronary syndromes (OR 1.22).
