Associations between body fat variability and later onset of cardiovascular disease risk factors

Objective There is current debate regarding whether body weight variability is associated with cardiovascular events. Recently, high body fat percentage (BF%) has been shown to be a cardiovascular risk factor. We therefore hypothesized that BF% variability would present a stronger cardiovascular risk than body weight variability. Methods A single-center retrospective cohort study of medical check-up examinees aged 20 years or older at baseline...
