Elevated body-mass index (BMI, weight in kilograms/height in meters2), in the obese range (≥30) is associated with an excess risk of heart failure (HF). However, impact of overweight or preobese (BMI 25 to 29.9) status and physical activity to HF risk is unclear. In a prospective cohort of 21,094 men (mean age, 53 years) without known coronary heart disease at baseline in the Physicians’ Health Study, we examined the individual and combined effects of BMI and vigorous physical activity (exercise to the point of breaking a sweat) to HF incidence from 1982 to 2007. We evaluated BMI as both a continuous (per 1 kg/m2 increment) and a categorical (lean, <25, overweight, 25 to 29.9, and obese, ≥30) variable, and vigorous physical activity primarily as a dichotomous variable (inactive [rarely/never] vs. active [≥1 to 3 times a month]). During follow-up (mean 20.5 years), 1109 participants developed new-onset HF. In multivariable analyses, every 1 kg/m2 increase in BMI was associated with an 11% (95%CI 9 to 13%) increase in HF risk. Compared with lean participants, overweight participants had a 49% (95%CI 32 to 69%) and obese participants had a 180% (95%CI 124 to 250%) increase in HF risk. Vigorous physical activity conferred an 18% (95%CI 4 to 30%) decrease in HF risk. No interaction was found between BMI and vigorous physical activity to HF risk (p=0.96). Lean-active men had the lowest and obese-inactive men had the highest risk of HF. Compared with lean-active men, the hazard ratios (95%CI) were 1.19 (0.94 to 1.51), 1.49 (1.30 to 1.71), 1.78 (1.43 to 2.23), 2.68 (2.08 to 3.45), and 3.93 (2.60 to 5.96) in lean-inactive, overweight-active, overweight-inactive, obese-active, and obese-inactive men respectively. In this cohort of men, elevated BMI, even in preobese range, was associated with an increased risk of HF and vigorous physical activity was associated with a decreased risk. Public health measures to curtail excess weight, maintain optimal weight, and promote physical activity may limit the scourge of HF.
