2016, American Heart JournalCitation Excerpt :To our knowledge, only 1 other study has reported an interaction between BMI and age. Hoit et al16 found that obesity was associated with increased hospital death in older (≥65 years old) but not younger patients. These observations conflict with those reported in our study but are likely explained by differences in the age distribution and categorization of BMI between studies.
