Background: The growing prevalence of obesity is expected to increase the burden of coronary artery disease. This study examined the prevalence of overweight and obesity in patients with a first-time diagnosis of obstructive coronary artery disease in a contemporary population. The association of body-mass-index (BMI) with age, traditional risk factors, and the presence of multivessel disease were explored. Methods and results: Using the Danish Nationwide registries, we identified 49,733 patients with a first-time diagnosis of obstructive coronary artery disease in the period 2012–2018. We investigated the association between BMI and coronary risk factors by multivariate logistic regression. Mean age was 65.8 ± 11.8 years, mean BMI was 27.5 kg/m2 ± 7.2, and 73.2 % were men. 66.3 % had a BMI ≥25 kg/m2 and 1.3 % were underweight. The prevalence of patients with BMI ≥25 kg/m2 decreased with increasing age and was 69 % in patients |
