Abstract
The link between central obesity and cardiovascular diseases has been firmly established in recent years. On the other hand, numerous studies have observed that excessive body mass may be associated with a relatively favorable prognosis in advanced heart diseases. In this review article, we will summarize the findings from recent Asian and worldwide studies. We will also discuss the underlying mechanisms and other contributing factors of the obesity paradox.
