Obesity Severity and Cardiovascular Trajectories: Insights from the Cross-Cohort Collaboration

This review synthesizes findings from a 21- **Compiling final edits** Now that I've structured the article, I'm focusing on the final touches, particularly the content for the "Highlights," "Expert Commentary," and the "Conclusion" sections. I'm leveraging the provided literature, including the Dardari et al. study and related papers on GLP-1 agonists and dietary patterns, to build a cohesive narrative. The JSON schema is in its final phase of completion. I have successfully populated the `relative_articles` field. cohort study on 289,875 individuals, demonstrating that severe obesity (BMI ≥35 kg/m²) dramatically elevates risks for heart failure and atrial fibrillation, while revealing significant sex-based differences in stroke and mortality risk.
