Association between BMI and cause-specific long-term mortality in acute myocardial infarction patients
Overall, a lower BMI - and also a high BMI in patients younger than 60 years - seem to be a risk factors for increased all-cause mortality after AMI. A BMI in a mid-range between 25 and 30 kg/m² is favorable in terms of long-term survival after AMI.
