Health-Related Quality of Life in Those with Persistent or Transient Obesity Phenotypes during Two Decades: Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The current study aimed to investigate the association of three stable obesity phenotypes (persistent metabolically healthy normal weight [P MHNW], persistent metabolically healthy obese [P MHO], persistent metabolically unhealthy obese [P MUO]), and one transient (MHO to MUO) obesity phenotype throughout 18 years with health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

Methods

1,932 participants (649 men and 1,283 women) who completed the HRQoL questionnaire during 2016-2019 were recruited in the current investigation. Based on the body mass index and metabolic status, participants were classified into four obesity phenotypes, including (1) P MHNW, (2) P MHO, (3) P MUO, and (4) transient from MHO to MUO. The HRQoL was compared between groups using analysis of covariance. P
