In this cohort of men, elevated BMI, even in the preobese range, was associated with an increased risk of Heart Failure, and vigorous physical activity was associated with a decreased risk. Public health measures to curtail excess weight, to maintain optimal weight, and to promote physical activity may limit the scourge of HF. |
