Changes in waist circumference and the incidence of acute myocardial infarction in middle-aged men and women
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Waist circumference (WC) measured at one point in time is positively associated with the risk of acute myocardial infarction (MI), but the association with changes in WC (DWC) is not clear. We investigated the association between DWC and the risk of MI in middle-aged men and women, and evaluated the influence from concurrent changes in BMI (DBMI).
