Evidence of genetic predisposition for metabolically healthy obesity and metabolically obese normal weight.

Physiological genomics - 1 Mar 2018

Huang Lam O, Loos Ruth J F, Kilpeläinen Tuomas O

Abstract excerpt

Obesity has evolved into a global pandemic that constitutes a major threat to public health. The majority of obesity-related health care costs are due to cardiometabolic complications, such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, which are risk factors for Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. However, many obese individuals, often called metabolically healthy obese (MHO), seem to be...
