Excess weight, as measured by BMI, is typically considered a measure of excess body fat. Excess visceral fat results in a higher risk of insulin resistance, which is the precursor state to diabetes. In the setting of insulin resistance, a higher ApoB concentration increases the risk of cardiovascular disease dramatically.

Body mass index (BMI) is a widely available marker of nutrition status, however studies on BMI and post-ICH outcomes are limited and have conflicting results. Patients were divided into underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese according to World Health Organization BMI criteria. 7.34) and lobar (OR 3.15, 95% CI 1.67-5.94)

Salvatore Carbone, PhD: First, I’d like to point out that obesity is a major risk factor for cardiometabolic disease. There are significant data that show that if you have obesity, you have a high risk of developing coronary heart disease, heart failure, type 2 diabetes (T2D) or risk factors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia.

An elevated Lp(a) is a common genetic factor that is independently and causally related to premature coronary artery disease. The occurrence of disease in this instance is probabilistic, not deterministic. An elevated Lp(a) does increase the risk of early cardiovascular disease, but that risk is not set in stone.

Short sleep duration was significantly associated with a higher risk of developing hypertension after adjusting for demographic and cardiovascular risk factors, including age, sex, education, BMI, blood pressure, smoking status etc. Sleep apnea has been tied to higher rates of high blood pressure, stroke and coronary artery disease.

However, recent studies have observed that people below 40 are also experiencing heart attacks due to high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, and social and mental stress. It’s essential for those at risk of coronary artery disease to be aware of the following symptoms.
