Background: In heart failure (HF), obesity, defined as body mass index (BMI) 30 kg m−2, is paradoxically associated with higher survival rates compared with normal-weight patients (the ‘obesity paradox’). We sought to determine if the obesity paradox differed by HF subtype (reduced ejection fraction (HF-REF) versus preserved ejection fraction (HF-PEF)).<p></p> Patients and Methods: A sub-analysis of the MAGGIC meta-analysis of patient-level data from 14 HF studies was performed. Subjects were divided into five BMI groups: 22.5, 22.5–24.9 (referent), 25–29.9, 30–34.9 and 35 kg m<−2. Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for age, sex, aetiology (ischaemic or non-ischaemic), hypertension, diabetes and baseline blood pressure, stratifie...
