Impact of Body Mass Index on Venous Disease: Insights from the National Venous Screening Program

This study evaluates the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and venous disease outcomes. Conducted by a team of medical experts, the analysis reveals that mean venous thromboembolism (VTE) scores rise with increasing BMI, while the quality of life related to venous health declines. Results show significant differences in VTE risk categories, quality of life metrics (CIVIQ2), and clinical scores (CEAP and VCSS) across weight groups. Obesity is identified as a contributing factor to chronic venous disease, especially in patients without severe valvular insufficiency.
