{{cquote|Until recently the relation between [[obesity]] and [[coronary heart disease]] was viewed as indirect, ie, through covariates related to both obesity and coronary [[heart]] disease risk, including [[hypertension]]; dyslipidemia, particularly reductions in HDL [[cholesterol]]; and impaired glucose tolerance or non–insulin-dependent [[diabetes]] mellitus. [[Insulin]] resistance and accompanying hyperinsulinemia are typically associated with these comorbidities. Although most of the comorbidities relating obesity to coronary artery disease increase as [[BMI]] increases, they also relate to body fat distribution. Long-term longitudinal studies, however, indicate that obesity as such not only relates to but independently predicts coronary atherosclerosis. This relation appears to exist for both men and women with minimal increases in BMI.<ref>http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/full/circulationaha%3B96/9/3248</ref>}}
