Introduction and objectivesTo analyze the association between higher body mass index and waist circumference, and the prognostic values of both indicators in total and cardiac mortality in patients with chronic heart failure.MethodsThe study included 1954 patients who were followed up for 4 years in military hospitals of Algeria. Obesity was classified as a body mass index>30 and overweight as a body mass index of 25.0-29.9. Central obesity was defined as waist circumference>88cm for women and>102cm for men. Independent predictors of total and cardiac mortality were assessed in a multivariate Cox model adjusted for confounding variables.ResultsObesity was present in 38% of patients, overweight in 46%, and central obesity in 63%.
