Episode 155: Body Mass Index, Waist Circumference, and Aging Well
In this episode, Dr. Armstrong and Corbin Bruton discuss a recent study published in the European Heart Journal titled "Body Mass Index, Waist Circumference, and Mortality in Subjects Older than 80 Years: A Mendelian Randomization Study." The hosts uncover the surprising inverse relationship between BMI and all-cause/non-cardiovascular disease mortality, challenging conventional beliefs about weight and health outcomes in older adults and explore the implications of higher BMI and its protective effect on mortality and confront the paradoxical role of waist circumference as a significant risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. The hosts highlight the significance of factors like muscle mass, cognitive function, and overall health status for… aging well.
