Diastolic dysfunction and sex-specific progression to HFpEF: current gaps in knowledge and future directions
Diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle (LVDD) is equally common in elderly women and

[HTML][HTML] Associations of relative fat mass, a new index of adiposity, with type-2 diabetes in the general population
Background Relative fat mass (RFM) is a novel sex-specific anthropometric equation (based
on height and waist measurements) to estimate whole-body fat percentage. Objective To …

Adiposity, fat-free mass and incident heart failure in 500 000 individuals
Background and aims The independent role of body fat distribution and fat-free mass in
heart failure (HF) risk is unclear. We investigated the role of different body composition …

Relative fat mass and prediction of incident atrial fibrillation, heart failure and coronary artery disease in the general population
Background Relative fat mass (RFM) is an emerging marker of obesity that estimates body
fat percentage using a sex-specific formula containing height and waist circumference (WC) …

Temporal trends in obesity defined by the relative fat mass (RFM) index among adults in the United States from 1999 to 2020: a population-based study
Objectives The body mass index (BMI) largely underestimates excess body fat, suggesting
that the prevalence of obesity could be underestimated. Biologically, women are known to …

Body Composition and risk of incident heart failure in 1 million adults: a systematic review and dose–response meta‐analysis of prospective cohort studies
Background The aim of this systematic review was to quantify the associations between
body composition measures and risk of incident heart failure (HF) and its subtypes in the …

Lower adherence to a Mediterranean diet is associated with high adiposity in community-dwelling older adults: results from the longevity check-up (lookup) 7+ project
High adiposity impacts health and quality of life in old age, owing to its association with
multimorbidity, decreased physical performance, and frailty. Whether a high adherence to a …
