The aHR was elevated for all subtypes of CVD: heart failure: 3.9 (95% CI 3.7\u20134.1), bradyarrhythmia: 2.9 (95% CI 2.7\u20133.1), angina pectoris: 2.7 (95% CI 2.7\u20132.8), atrial fibrillation or flutter: 2.6 (95% CI 2.5\u20132.6), acute myocardial infarction: 2.4 (95% CI 2.3\u20132.4), revascularization procedure: 2.4 (95% CI 2.2\u20132.5), valvular heart disease: 1.7 (95% CI 1.6\u20131.8), ischemic stroke: 1.6 (95% CI 1.4\u20131.7), transient ischemic attack: 1.6 (95% CI 1.5\u20131.7), and cardiovascular death: 1.6 (95% CI 1.5\u20131.6). The 1\u201310-year aHR of any CVD associated with an overweight\/obesity diagnosis decreased from 2.8 (95% CI 2.7\u20132.9) in 1977\u20131987 to 1.8 (95% CI 1.8\u20131.9) in 2008\u20132018.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients with hospital-diagnosed overweight\/obesity had high rates of ischemic heart disease, heart failure, structural heart disease, arrhythmia, stroke, and death, although the strength of the association decreased in recent years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Significance statement<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Obesity is linked to metabolic abnormalities that predispose individuals to an increased risk of subtypes of CVD. In this population-based nationwide 40-year cohort study, we found that of 195,221 patients with an overweight\/obesity diagnosis, more than 31,000 (15.9%) were admitted to hospital within 10 years because of CVD; corresponding to a 2.5-fold greater relative risk of any CVD associated with overweight\/obesity than in the general population. We observed an increased risk for most CVD subtypes, including ischemic heart disease, heart failure, structural heart disease, arrhythmia, stroke, and cardiovascular death, although the strength of the association decreased in recent years. Our study emphasizes the importance of improved clinical handling of obesity and underscores the need to prevent associated complications to alleviate the burden of obesity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1530\/ec-23-0452","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,16]],"date-time":"2024-02-16T09:09:19Z","timestamp":1708074559000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-10","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Risk of cardiovascular disease after hospital-diagnosed overweight or obesity"],"prefix":"10.1530","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8681-6822","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Sigrid Bjerge","family":"Gribsholt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology and Internal Medicine, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark"},{"name":"Steno Diabetes Center Aarhus, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Aarhus University Hospital and Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Morten","family":"Schmidt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Aarhus University Hospital and Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eskild Bendix","family":"Kristiansen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Aarhus University Hospital and Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bj\u00f8rn","family":"Richelsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology and Internal Medicine, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark"},{"name":"Steno Diabetes Center Aarhus, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Henrik Toft","family":"S\u00f8rensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Aarhus University Hospital and Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"416","reference":[{"key":"bib1","article-title":"Obesity and overweight","year":"2018","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
