We did not find differences in the prevalence of excess weight between male and female patients in
either the case group (P = .293) or the control group (P = .639).
The largest group of patients with treated CHD corresponded to the group without haemodynamically
significant residual defects, as can be seen in Table 2.
A salient finding in our study was that in patients treated for CHD, the proportion of obesity was higher than
the proportion of overweight and significantly higher compared to the control group.
