Heterogeneous body compositions and all-cause mortality in acute coronary syndrome patients: a ten-year retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association of different body components, including lean mass and body fat, with the risk of death in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients are unclear.

Methods

We enrolled adults diagnosed with ACS at our center between January 2011 and December 2012 and obtained follow-up outcomes via telephone questionnaires. We used restricted cubic splines (RCS) with the Cox proportional hazards model to analyze the associations between body mass index (BMI), predicted lean mass index (LMI), predicted body fat percentage (BF), and the value of LMI/BF with 10-year mortality. We also examined the secondary outcome of death during hospitalization.

Results

During the maximum 10-year follow-up of 1398 patients, 331 deaths (23.6%) occurred, and a U-shaped relationship w
