Mean excess bmi
upin humans1
Mean excess bmi is associated with N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide in humans (+4.02% (95% CI, 1.79-6.24) per 1 kg/m2 higher mean excess BMI).
“each 1 kg/m2 higher mean excess BMI was associated with 4.02% (95% CI, 1.79-6.24) higher NT-proBNP”

Obesity duration
upin humans1
Obesity duration is associated with N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide in humans (+1.80% (95% CI, 0.54-3.06) per year beyond 25 years).
“each additional year of obesity beyond 25 years was associated with 1.80% (95% CI, 0.54-3.06) higher NT-proBNP”
