Metabolically healthy obesity: time for a change of heart?

Metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) describes the presence of obesity with limited or no features of poor metabolic health. MHO might be a transient state associated with long-term health complications. A recent study highlights that MHO is associated with an increased risk of heart failure. Obesity, in all forms, requires intervention.

Automated summary

Metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) refers to the presence of obesity without metabolic health issues, but recent studies show that even MHO is associated with an increased risk of heart failure. Therefore, interventions are necessary for all forms of obesity to prevent long-term health complications.
