However, there have been mixed findings regarding the association between obesity and cardiovascular events in part due to the way it is measured. Major limitations exist with the use of BMI as it cannot assess body composition or fat distribution, and thus fails to account for the separate roles of muscle and fat mass (FM). The objective is to examine the relationship between various measures of body composition including FM, fat-free mass (FFM), waist-to-height ratio, waist circumference, and BMI, and coronary heart disease (CHD) events, from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) cohort.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MESA is a population-based cohort study of 6814 men and women, aged between 45 and 85 years, without clinically apparent CVD. FM and FFM at baseline (Exam 1) were estimated using multiplicative power equations formulated from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measurements. Multi-variable Cox regression models were used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for 10-year incident hard CHD events (non-fatal myocardial infarction, resuscitated cardiac arrest, and death resulting from CHD) for FM\/FFM, waist-to-height ratio, waist circumference, and BMI. Higher FM was associated with higher risk of hard CHD events, with a HR of 1.64 (1.09\u20132.48) per standard deviation (SD) unit increase (P-value 0.019). FFM was associated with a lower risk of CHD, with a HR of 0.24 (0.08\u20130.76) per SD unit increase of FFM (P-value 0.014). The waist-to-height ratio had a HR of 1.21 (1.08\u20131.35) (P-value 0.001) per SD unit increase in the ratio and was significantly associated with a higher risk of hard CHD events, as was waist circumference with a HR of 1.14 (1.03\u20131.28) (P-value 0.016) per SD unit increase. BMI had a HR of 1.08 (0.97\u20131.21) (P-value 0.158) and was not significantly associated with a 10-year risk of hard CHD events.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Higher FM, waist-to-height ratio, and waist circumference were associated with increased risk for hard CHD events while higher FFM was associated with decreased risk. This highlights the potential importance of lifestyle interventions to build muscle and minimize adiposity for the prevention of CVD and strengthens the call for the inclusion of alternative methodologies to define obesity and measure body composition in the clinical setting.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/eurjpc\/zwaf212","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,7]],"date-time":"2025-04-07T21:41:15Z","timestamp":1744062075000},"page":"2549-2556","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Examining the relationship between anthropometric and body composition measures with coronary heart disease events: the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"33","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3341-1071","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amier","family":"Haidar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA , 10833 LeConte Ave CHS A2- 237, Los Angeles, CA 90095 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Kronmal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, University of Washington , Seattle, WA ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthew","family":"Allison","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of California at San Diego , San Diego, CA ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3658-6165","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karol","family":"Watson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA , 10833 LeConte Ave CHS A2- 237, Los Angeles, CA 90095 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Preethi","family":"Srikanthan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA , 10833 LeConte Ave CHS A2- 237, Los Angeles, CA 90095 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tamara","family":"Horwich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA , 10833 LeConte Ave CHS A2- 237, Los Angeles, CA 90095 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026101219572999800_zwaf212-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e23855","DOI":"10.1002\/ajhb.23855","article-title":"Trends in obesity and severe obesity prevalence in the United States from 1999 to 2018","volume":"35","author":"Fan","year":"2023","journal-title":"Am J Hum Biol"},{"key":"2026101219572999800_zwaf212-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"810","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/dyz273","article-title":"Has the prevalence of overweight, obesity and central obesity levelled off in the United States?
