Popis: BACKGROUND The obesity paradox states that patients with higher body mass index (BMI) and cardiovascular disease may experience better prognosis. However, this is less clear in patients with coronary heart disease. METHODS AND RESULTS The prospective STABILITY (Stabilization of Atherosclerotic Plaque by Initiation of Darapladib Therapy) trial included 15 828 patients with stable coronary heart disease with 3 to 5 years’ follow‐up on optimal secondary preventive treatment. BMI was measured at baseline (n=15 785). Associations between BMI and cardiovascular outcomes were evaluated by Cox regression analyses with multivariable adjustments. Mean age was 64±9 years and 19% women. Most risk markers (diabetes, hypertension, inflammatory biomarkers, triglycerides) showed a graded association with higher BMI. The frequency of smoking, levels of high‐density lipoprotein, growth differentiation factor 15, and NT‐proBNP (N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide) were higher at lower BMI. Low BMI (25 kg/m2. All‐cause and cardiovascular mortality were lowest at BMI of 25 to 35 kg/m2. Underweight with BMI of
