Sohail Zahid, MD, PhD, a Cardiology Fellow from Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore, MD, shares insights from his Commentary appearing in the November 2025 issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings, where he and his coauthors explain the nuances of past descriptions of the phenomenon known as the obesity paradox where obese patients were seemingly showing better survival rates in contradiction to obesity as a known cardiovascular disease risk. Dr. Zahid reports the new definition for obesity takes into account many factors beyond body mass index including cardiorespiratory fitness, body shape, and existing comorbidities, to gain a more accurate picture of obesity and its effects on cardiovascular disease. Thus, he recommends using this new definition as a more holistic approach to determining patient risk for cardiovascular disease. Available at: https://mayocl.in/468md7x
