Zusammenfassung: | This study aimed to evaluate the cardiometabolic abnormalities in women with normal-weight obesity (NWO) in comparison with lean, overweight, and obese women.
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
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.
Significant differences were observed in HDL concentrations between NWO, lean, and obese participants (
< 0.05). There were no significant differences in FBG, insulin resistance, liver enzymes, or cholesterol between groups (
> 0.05). The prevalence of the abnormal metabolic phenotype was higher in NWO compared to the lean group (4.0% and 24.1%, respectively;
< 0.05). Women with type 2 and 3 obesity had abnormal metabolic profiles (60.9% and 73.9%, respectively) compared to NWO participants (
< 0.01). The NWO group had a significantly higher incidence of cardiometabolic abnormalities compared to the lean participants (
< 0.05), while the type 2 and 3 obese individuals had significantly higher incidences compared to the NWO group (
< 0.001 and
< 0.001, respectively).
Individuals with NWO had a significantly higher incidence of cardiometabolic abnormalities when compared to lean participants. These abnormalities strongly relate to BFP and waist circumferences. |
