Core Tip	Literatures have shown strong association between obesity and coronary artery disease (CAD). However, a phenomenon known as obesity paradox (OX) exist which means that obese patients who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention for CAD, they have better outcome compared to normal and underweight patients. New studies also suggest racial and sexual disparities in OX. Multiple mechanisms and patho-physiology have been implicated for OX. In this review, we performed literature search of OX undergoing percutaneous intervention, propose mechanism of OX and racial and sexual disparities.
