Are Women with Normal-Weight Obesity at Higher Risk for Cardiometabolic Disorders?

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aimed to evaluate the cardiometabolic abnormalities in women with normal-weight obesity (NWO) in comparison with lean, overweight, and obese women.

Methods

This cross-sectional study evaluated the assessment of cardiometabolic abnormalities of women with NWO compared to lean, overweight, and obese women. NWO was defined as a BMI < 25 kg.m^-2 and a BFP higher than 30%. Anthropometric variables, cardiometabolic abnormality markers (fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood pressure (BP), lipid profile, insulin resistance, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)), and liver enzymes were also examined.

Results

Significant differences were observed in HDL concentrations between NWO, lean, and obese participants (p < 0.05). There wer
