Do lifestyle factors and quality of life differ in people with metabolically healthy and unhealthy obesity?

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Although obesity is typically associated with metabolic co-morbidities, some people with obesity do not develop metabolic abnormalities. We evaluated whether modifiable lifestyle factors (i.e., physical activity, dietary composition, and sleep characteristics) can help explain why some people with obesity are metabolically healthy (MHO) and whether metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) affects quality of life (QOL).

Subjects/methods

Physical activity and sleep characteristics were assessed by using tri-axial accelerometers and dietary intake, sleep quality, and QOL were evaluated by using validated questionnaires in people stratified into three groups: (1) lean with normal glucose tolerance, plasma triglyceride (TG) concentration and intrahepatic TG
