Obesity, android fat distribution, and other anthropometric measures have been associated with coronary heart disease in long-term prospective studies, However, fluctuations in weight due to age-related hormonal changes and changes in lifestyle practices may bias relative risk estimates over a long follow-up period. The authors prospectively studied the association between body mass index (BMI) (kg/m(2)), waist-to-hip ratio, and height as independent predictors of incident coronary heart disease in a S-year prospective study among 29,122 US men aged 40-75 years in 1986. The authors documented 420 incident coronary events during the follow-up period, Body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, short stature, and weight gain since age 21 were associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease. Among men younger than 65, after adjusting for other coronary risk factors, the relative risk was 1.72 (95% confidence interval (Cl) 1.10-2.69)for men with BMI of 25-28.9, 2.61 (95% Cl 1.54-4.42) for BMI of 29.0-32.9, and 3.44 (95% Cl 1.67-7.09) for obese men with BMI greater than or equal to 33 compared with lean men with BMI
