Mindsip insights from this episode:
Leverage muscle mass to understand obesity paradox in heart disease outcomes
The counterintuitive finding that heavier people can have better heart disease outcomes may be because their excess body weight helps them maintain more protective muscle mass.
Avoid weight loss that leads to muscle loss to protect heart health
A study found that people who lost weight had more heart attacks and strokes, but only when the weight loss was accompanied by muscle loss.
Preserve muscle during weight loss to protect cardiovascular health
Losing weight while also losing muscle can be as detrimental to cardiovascular health as gaining weight.
Monitor muscle mass to reduce cardiovascular risk
Cardiovascular risk increases as the ratio of muscle mass loss to total weight loss becomes greater, even after adjusting for factors like age, sex, and smoking.
Distinguish exercise benefits from muscle mass effects
The protective health effects observed may be due to exercise itself rather than just the resulting muscle mass, which is a major potential confounding variable in the study.
