Metabolic and Behavioral Characteristics of Metabolically Obese but Normal-Weight Women

Metabolic and behavioral characteristics of metabolically obese but normal-weight women.

A unique subset of individuals termed metabolically obese but normal weight (MONW) has been identified. These young women are potentially at increased risk for development of the metabolic syndrome despite their young age and normal body mass index. We seek to determine metabolic and behavioral factors that could potentially distinguish MONW women from young women with a normal metabolic profil...

Comparison of Components of Metabolic Syndrome among Metabolically Obese Normal Weight, Metabolically Benign Normal Weight, and Metabolically Abnormal Obese Iranian Children and Adolescents in Ahvaz

Background: Metabolically obese normal-weight (MONW) children and adolescents are characterized by body mass index (BMI) lower than +1SD with metabolic disorders such as hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and/or hypertension. This study wants to determineprevalence of MONW, metabolically benign normal weight (MBNW), metabolically abnormality obese (MAO) and comparethe components of metabolic ...

Metabolically obese but normal weight (MONW) and metabolically healthy but obese (MHO) phenotypes in Koreans: characteristics and health behaviors.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of 'metabolically obese, but normal-weight' (MONW) and 'metabolically healthy, but obese' (MHO) phenotypes in Korean adults and identify the characteristics and health behaviors related to both phenotypes. Of the 5267 participants (2227 men, 3040 women) from the 3rd Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, the MONW phenoty...
