We have investigated the role of muscle mass, natriuretic peptides and adipokines in explaining the obesity paradox. ⋯ The lower mortality risk associated with excess weight in men with CHD without HF may be due to higher muscle mass. In men with HF, leptin (possibly reflecting cachexia) explain the inverse association.
