Abstract: IntroductionEpidemiological evidence suggests that overweight and obesity have been associated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, data on this issue are controversial. This study aims to use meta-analysis to determine whether overweight and obesity are related to AMI.Material and methodsWe searched PubMed and Embase databases up to October 23rd, 2013 for related literature. The association of overweight and obesity with AMI was assessed by odd ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) as the e… Show more

“…In some specific conditions, such as non-ST-elevation AMI, the mortality of elderly obese patients is lower. 28 This finding has been observed in some studies 29-31 assessing mortality due to other diseases related to obesity and overweight and is known as the obesity paradox. We did not evaluate or compare mortality rates in the present study, but we demonstrated a clear association of obesity with AMI.…”

“…Moreover, studies showed that the prevalence as well as the consequences of cardiovascular diseases can be different according to the sex, the age or other risk factors including obesity [1, 2] [3]. Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in cardiovascular disease is thus still very important.…”

“…Наличие инсулинорезистентности является важ-ным общепризнанным кардиоваскулярным факто-ром риска, увеличивающим вероятность развития осложнений ИМ и риск повторных кардиоваскуляр-ных событий [10]. Инсулинорезистентность диагно-стирована у 30 (26,8%) обследованных мужчин, при-чем в группе среднего возраста -у 18 (27,3%) паци-ентов, в группе пожилых -у 12 (26,1%), (р=0,9), (табл.…”
