p < 0.01;

§

p < 0.001: vs. Low- Low (n = 1,228) as the reference among four BMI groups.

LV end-diastolic volume, LV end-systolic volume, LV stroke volume, Left atrium volume, and LV mass were indexed to body height (m).

High-High = Year-0 BMI ≥ 27 and Year-25BMI ≥ 27; High-Low = Year-0 BMI ≥ 27 and Year-25BMI < 27; Low-High = Year-0 BMI < 27 and Year-25BMI ≥ 27.

Model: Categorical BMI groups were included as covariates and were adjusted for baseline age, sex, race + both Year-0 and 25 year change in diabetes, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, total-cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, alcohol consumption/day, activity level, use of anti-hypertensive medication, educational level, and number of cigarettes/day.

BMI = body mass index; e′ = peak early diastolic mitral annular velocity; E/A= early to late peak diastolic mitral flow velocity ratio; E/e′ = ratio of early peak diastolic mitral velocity/peak early diastolic mitral annular velocity; Ell = longitudinal peak systolic strain; Ecc = circumferential peak systolic strain; Ell_SRe = longitudinal peak early diastolic strain rate; Ecc_SRe = circumferential peak early diastolic strain rate; LV = left ventricular; SE = standard error; STE = speckle tracking echocardiography.
