Do the cardiovascular benefits depend on the weight loss?

Asked 9 Sept 2025Modified 11 months agoViewed 10k times

This is a question about interpretation, not about whether to act — I will take action questions elsewhere.

I want to know whether this is a real physical effect or an artefact of how it is measured.

What prompted the question is an inconsistency between two sources I otherwise trust.

Is the standard explanation correct, and if so, what is the evidence for it?
