Why the study?
Are obesity and malnutrition associated with adverse cardiac remodeling and cardiovascular outcomes in asymptomatic adults?
Are obesity and malnutrition associated with adverse cardiac remodeling and cardiovascular outcomes in asymptomatic adults?
The combination of obesity and poor nutritional status identifies a high-risk phenotype for adverse cardiac remodeling and worse clinical outcomes in asymptomatic adults.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Highlights high-risk obese-malnutrition phenotype for monitoring; leaves open whether interventions improve remodeling or outcomes.
In our cohort study among asymptomatic community-based adults in Taiwan, we found that obese individuals with poor nutritional status have the highest comorbidity burden, the most adverse cardiac remodeling, and the least favorable composite outcome.
