According to this story, a study of 3,362 people showed that blood pressure and BMI were associated with heart failure.
Not surprising, since the BMI was a model developed to predict the risk of suffering from weight-related illnesses such as heart disease. That means the orginal BMI researchers took a group of real people and tracked their health and looked for factors that related to their health outcomes. BMI was such a factor.
