Key result
Higher cumulative obese-years were associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, with an adjusted HR of 1.80 (95% CI 1.54-2.10) for ≥75 obese-years compared to never being obese.
Why the study?
Does the obese-years metric predict the risk of cardiovascular disease in adults?
Cohort (n=5,036)
Does the obese-years metric predict the risk of cardiovascular disease in adults?
The obese-years metric provides a slightly more precise estimation of CVD risk than the level or duration of obesity alone.
Obese-years associated with higher CVD risk; leaves open whether cumulative exposure improves prediction or warrants targeted interventions.

Abdullah et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Cardiovascular disease (n=5,036). Obese-years vs. Never obese (zero obese-years) was evaluated on Cardiovascular disease (CVD) (AHR 1.80, 95% CI 1.54 to 2.10). Higher cumulative obese-years were associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, with an adjusted HR of 1.80 (95% CI 1.54-2.10) for ≥75 obese-years compared to never being obese.
