The data on sex-related differences regarding the body mass index (BMI) in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) are rare and inconclusive. We aimed to assess sex differences in the relationship between BMI and 30-day mortality in men and women with MI. ⋯ Our results suggest that the relationship between BMI and outcome in patients with MI is different in men and women. We found an L-shaped relationship between BMI and 30-day mortality in men, but no relationship was observed in women. The obesity paradox was not found in women. Sex itself could not explain this differential relationship, and the underlying cause is likely multifactorial.
