The prevalence, metabolic risk and effects of lifestyle intervention for metabolically healthy obesity: a systematic review and meta-analysis: A PRISMA-compliant article.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to firstly obtain a reliable estimation of the prevalence of metabolically healthy obese (MHO) individuals in obesity, then assessed the risk of developing metabolic abnormalities (MA) among MHO individuals. At last, we evaluated the effects of traditional lifestyle interventions on metabolic level for MHO subjects.

Methods

A systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA) guideline were conducted, and original studies were searched up to December 31, 2016. The prevalence of MHO in obesity from each study was pooled using random effects models. The relative risks (RRs) were pooled to determine the risk of developing MA for MHO compared with metabolically healthy normal-weight (MHNW) subjects. For the meta-analysis of
