Obesity, metabolic health and clinical outcomes after incident cardiovascular disease: A nationwide population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between metabolic syndrome and increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk is well-established. However, in patients with incident CVD, the relationship between obesity, metabolic health, and subsequent CVD and mortality outcomes are less well-established. This study investigated the association between body mass index (BMI), metabolic health and the risk of subsequent cardiovascular mortality and morbidity outcomes in patients with incident CVD events.

Methods

This cohort study identified 130 685 patients from the nationwide Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD GOLD) and Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) databases in the United Kingdom. Patients were ≥18 years with incident CVD [coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, or peripheral vascular dis
