BMI and heart attack risk prediction

Dr Joshi, curious if there has been any published study on MI emergency vs BMI in large populations. Ie, of all the emergency hospitalization cases in a hospital, what percentage are directly predictable based on BMI alone as an independent variable.

this is a complex question because obesity confers heart attack risk in multiple ways that include visceral fat, diabetes, high BP and other risks. So although there is a direct relationship between obesity and heart attack rates, detailed causation is more complex
