Metabolically healthy obesity and cardiovascular events: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions
None of the approaches clearly identified an obese subgroup not at increased risk of cardiovascular events compared with normal-weight healthy participants. A benign obese phenotype might be defined by strict definitions, but insufficient studies exist to support this. More research is needed to better define MHO.
