Objectives Our goal was to determine the impact of lean mass index (LMI) and body fat (BF) on survival in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).Background An inverse relationship between obesity and prognosis has been demonstrated (the "obesity paradox") in CHD, which has been explained by limitations in the use of body mass index in defining body composition.Methods We studied 570 consecutive patients with CHD who were referred to cardiac rehabilitation, stratified as Low (35% in women) BF and as Low (
