Association of N‐terminal pro‐B natriuretic peptide with all‐cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in obese and non‐obese populations and the development of a machine learning prediction model: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

The study showed that NTproBNP can serve as a predictive factor for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in individuals with different BMIs, including obese individuals. However, significant cardiovascular mortality correlation was observed only for NTproBNP levels ≥300 pg/mL, and only among participants with abdominal obesity.
