Different age-related impacts of lean and obesity on cardiovascular prognosis in Japanese patients with cardiovascular risks: The J-HOP (Japan Morning Surge-Home Blood Pressure) Study.

ABSTRACT: The relationship between lean and cardiovascular events has been shown to vary with age, but the relationship between age-related lean and cardiovascular events in Asia has not been established. We divided patients enrolled in the J-HOP (Japan Morning Surge-Home Blood Pressure) study with one or more cardiovascular disease risks into three groups based on their body mass index (BMI): lean (BMI < 21), normal-weight (21 ≤ BMI <27), and obese (BMI ≥ 27). We stratified the risk of cardiovascular events of lean and obesity compared to normal weight into the patients < 65 years old and those aged ≥ 65 years. A total of 286 cardiovascular disease events were observed during the follow-up period (73 ± 46 months). Regarding the relationship between BMI and cardiovascular disease risk, both lean and
