متن کاملBlood pressure, body mass index and risk of cardiovascular disease in Chinese men and women
BACKGROUND It is still uncertain whether increased blood pressure (BP) has a stronger effect on the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in lean persons than in obese persons.

METHODS Systolic and diastolic BP, body mass index (BMI) and other variables were measured in 169,871 Chinese men and women > or = 40 years ...
متن کاملBody mass index and risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and all-cause mortality.
OBJECTIVES To determine the dose-response relationship between body mass index (BMI) and cause-specific mortality among Canadian adults.

متن کاملBody mass index modifies the risk of cardiovascular death in proteinuric chronic kidney disease.
BACKGROUND In subjects with end-stage renal disease, a high body mass index (BMI) is inversely related to overall mortality, which has been coined reverse epidemiology phenomenon. This study sought to investigate this paradox as well as a possible risk modification by proteinuria on the relationship of BMI with earlier stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) concerning cardiovascular mortality. ...
