Sex differences in obesity-related changes in left ventricular morphology: the Strong Heart Study
Structured PICO
Does obesity influence left ventricular geometry differently between men and women?
P
Population
Men and women in the Strong Heart Study
I
Intervention
Obesity
C

Men vs. women
O
Outcome
Changes in left ventricular morphology/geometrysurrogate
Obesity has a substantially greater impact on left ventricular geometry in women compared to men, suggesting sex-specific biological factors related to adiposity.
Abstract
Obesity influences left ventricular geometry substantially more in women than in men, possibly due to biological factors specifically associated with female adiposity.
