    Citation Excerpt :

    Although the concepts of “metabolically healthy obesity” (MHO) and “metabolically unhealthy obesity” (MUO) are common in literature, their definition varies among studies. Only in 2018 Damanhoury, S. et al. proposed the first definition of MHO such as obesity (according to WHO criteria) without any metabolic disorder and with a “favorable” metabolic profile (normal glucose regulation, blood pressure and lipids profile) [8–10]. On the contrary, MUO is characterized by metabolic complications such as hyperinsulinemia, IR, arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia [11].
