Health | In contrast to the consistent relationship of obesity to CAHD risk factors found in the overwhelming majority of prevalence studies, widely divergent results have been reported for the relationship of obesity to the incidence of CAHD. Thus, the eight cohort studies of the U.S. Pooling Project found discrepant results, including no association, a U-shaped relationship, and a positive relationship of obesity to CAHD. However, when data from these same studies were combined, there was a positive relationship of obesity to the risk of CAHD. Possible explanations for the discrepant findings include differences in health status of industrial workers in contrast with health status of the total population, varying duration of followup among the studies, and inadequate sample sizes.
