Characterisation of body size phenotypes in a middle-aged Maltese population.

Journal of nutritional science - 1 Jan 2021

Agius Rachel, Pace Nikolai Paul, Fava Stephen

Abstract excerpt

Obesity is increasingly recognised as being a heterogeneous disease. Some obese individuals may present a metabolically healthy profile (metabolically healthy obese (MHO)), while some normal weight individuals exhibit an adverse cardiometabolic phenotype (metabolically unhealthy normal weight individuals (MUHNW)). The objectives of the present study were to examine the prevalence and associated characteristics of...
