The effects of overweight and obesity on chronic diseases, particularly on cardiovascular disease (CVD), and its impact on increasing CVD risk factors and total CVD are reviewed. However despite the adverse effects of obesity on CVD risk factors and CVD, obesity has a surprising association with prognosis in patients with established diseases, often showing an "obesity paradox," [corrected] where overweight (body mass index (BMI), 25 to 29.9 kg·m(-2)) and obese patients (BMI, ≥30 kg·m(-2)) with established CVD frequently have a better prognosis than that of their leaner counterparts (BMI, <25 kg·m(-2)) with the same diseases. Fitness-versus-fatness debate is summarized also, including the critical role that fitness plays to alter the relationship between adiposity and subsequent prognosis.
本文综述了超重和肥胖对慢性疾病的影响,尤其是对心血管疾病(CVD)的影响,以及其对增加CVD危险因素和总体CVD的作用。然而,尽管肥胖对CVD危险因素和CVD有不良影响,但肥胖与已确诊疾病患者的预后存在惊人的关联,常表现为“肥胖悖论”,即患有CVD的超重(体重指数(BMI)为25至29.9kg·m-2)和肥胖患者(BMI≥30kg·m-2)往往比患有相同疾病的较瘦患者(BMI<25kg·m-2)预后更好。本文还总结了健康与肥胖的争论,包括健康在改变肥胖与后续预后之间关系中所起的关键作用。
