Metabolically Unhealthy Obesity: Novel Subtypes Defined by Integrated Metabolomics and Hematology

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at 62,341 obese participants from the UK Biobank. It identified four subtypes of unhealthy obesity based on blood and metabolic markers. It found that some subtypes had a higher risk of kidney and heart problems. This is an observational study, so it shows a link, not proof of cause.
