Whether all obese subjects both in metabolic groups and non-metabolic groups should be treated or not

More recent researches have focused on metabolically healthy obese (MHO) phenotypes and on this phenotype, individuals may be obese without metabolic disorders. Osteoarthritis (OA), kidney diseases and sleep disorders are three factors related to the obesity that these conditions are associated only with obesity but not with metabolic complications. Regardless of whether obese individuals are in metabolic groups or not, they should be treated. All studies should be based on the risk of all-cause mortality in the MHO phenotypes.
