Nicely-done study from the Cleveland Clinic investigating the sometimes-reported "J-shape" survival curve of the obesity paradox. The findings support the idea that based on BMI, morbidly obese patients with HF have significantly higher risk of mortality than their obese counterparts.

This is a comprehensive study highlighting the limitation of BMI and the strong correlation between elevated BMI and lean body mass in patients with HF. The higher lean mass with elevated BMI may be the reason for the factors associated with improved prognosis.

Mayo Clin Proc. 2013;88(3):251-8. doi: 10.1016/j.mayocp. 2012.11.020. This is an analysis of a very large cohort of patients with HF undergoing cardiopulmonary exercise testing. These results suggest that cardiorespiratory fitness may be more important than BMI in the context of the obesity paradox. This study adds to the idea that there are limits to the obesity paradox.
