Association of body mass index, metabolic health status and clinical outcomes in acute myocardial infarction patients: a national registry-based study.

In AMI patients with or without metabolic diseases, the presence of obesity did not affect mortality. The exception to this finding were female and Malay MHO who had worse long-term AMI mortality outcomes when compared to MHN suggesting that the presence of obesity in female and Malay patients may confer worsened outcomes.
