Malnutrition outweighs the effect of the obesity paradox
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle"
DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.12980
Abstract: High body mass index (BMI) is paradoxically associated with better outcome in patients with heart failure (HF). The effects of malnutrition on this phenomenon across the whole spectrum of HF have not yet been studied. read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.amjsurg.2016.05.006
Abstract: BACKGROUND The "obesity paradox" has been demonstrated in chronic diseases but not in acute surgery. We sought to determine whether obesity is associated with improved outcomes in patients with severe soft tissue infections (SSTIs). METHODS… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cardfail.2019.07.402
Abstract: Purpose Obesity is associated with several cardiovascular diseases including aortic valve stenosis. Studies have demonstrated a beneficial effect of obesity on patients with cardiovascular disease, deemed the “obesity paradox.” This paradox is also present in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pcad.2018.07.003
Abstract: Obesity increases a number of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, but patients with many types of CVD may have a better prognosis if classified as overweight or obese, a phenomenon known as the "obesity paradox".… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cvr/cvx106
Abstract: Clinical observations suggest a complex relationship between human obesity and cardiovascular disease. Whilst abdominal (visceral) adiposity leads to deleterious metabolic disturbances, subcutaneous fat accumulation has a benign effect on cardiometabolic risk. Notably, an accumulating body… read more here.
