AB Objective: It is unknown the influence of body composition in the inverse relationship of mortality with overweight and obesity in heart failure patients.Methods: 234 patients with chronic heart failure were evaluated. Body mass index, tricipital skinfold thickness, brachial muscle circumference and body fat percentage determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis were measured. The influence of previous anthropometric variables on total mortality was analyzed.Results: Mean follow-up was 21 +/- 10.7 months. We observed an inverse relationship of total mortality with body mass index (hazard ratio =0.91, 95% confidence interval, 0.87-0.96; P
