“…Unfortunately, we do not have data on physical activity, so we could not assess the possible influence of muscle mass and cardiorespiratory fitness in these particularly vulnerable patients. Lower BMI values have been associated with lower muscle mass, leading to reduced mobility and impaired physical performance, conditions associated with a poorer outcome [18,39]. These characteristics may further explain why patients with lower BMI values have a higher risk of dying in the long term after STEMI.…”

“…The body mass index (BMI) is used most often to define categories of body weight because it can be measured very easily [16]. However, BMI does not accurately estimate body compartments, and it cannot discriminate between an excess of body fat and an increase in fat-free mass, which may result in nutritional misclassification [12,18,19]. In addition, it cannot discriminate between visceral and subcutaneous fat [16,18].…”

“…Restricted blood flow in the vessels is most often the result of coronary artery disease (CAD) caused by atherosclerotic processes ( 4 ). The development of abnormalities contributing to MI can be caused by non-modifiable factors, including male sex, as well as modifiable ones, including an unhealthy lifestyle and its consequences in the form of overweight and excessive adipose tissue content ( 5 7 ).…”
