Obesity increases cardiovascular risk. However, the extent to which various measures of body composition are associated with abnormalities in cardiac structure and function, independent of comorbidities commonly affecting obese individuals, is not clear. This study sought to examine the relationship of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and percent body fat (BF) with conventional and advanced measures of cardiac structure and function. We studied 4343 participants of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study who were aged 69-82 years, free of coronary heart disease and heart failure, and underwent comprehensive echocardiography. Increasing BMI, WC, and BF were associated with greater left ventricular (LV) mass and left atrial volume indexed to height2.7 in both men and women (P<0.001). In women, all three measures were associated with abnormal LV geometry, and increasing WC and BF were associated with worse global longitudinal strain, a measure of left ventricular systolic function. In both sexes, increasing BMI was associated with greater right ventricular (RV) end-diastolic area and worse RV fractional area change (P≤0.001). We observed similar associations for both waist circumference and percent body fat. In a large, biracial cohort of older adults free of clinically overt coronary heart disease or heart failure, obesity was associated with subclinical abnormalities in cardiac structure in both men and women and with adverse left ventricular remodeling and impaired left ventricular systolic function in women. These data highlight the association of obesity and subclinical abnormalities of cardiac structure and function, particularly in women.
