AF increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, dementia, and hospitalization. Obesity significantly increases AF risk, both directly and indirectly, through related conditions, like hypertension, diabetes, and heart failure. However, studies on how obesity affects pharmacologic or interventional AF treatments are limited.

Dementia Up to 40% of dementia cases could be prevented by focusing on modifiable risk factors 11. Those with high blood pressure from midlife have twice the risk of developing dementia over a 25-year follow-up 12. In most Western populations, dementia consistently ranks as a leading cause of death. Ann Glob Health.

The highest risk was associated with dementia (hazard ratio [HR] 1.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.45-1.65), Obesity was associated with a lower risk of all-cause death (HR 0.81, 95%CI 0.79-0.84). In a multivariable Cox model, 12 comorbidities were independently associated with a higher risk of death from any cause.

For adults with overweight and obesity, resistance exercise increases lean body mass and reduces body fat percentage and fat mass — improving overall body composition. Of course, these benefits can also extend to individuals with a BMI in the normal range. It’s never too late to start — but the earlier you start the better.
