MBNW – Metabolically Benign Normal Weight Phenotype

MBO – Metabolically Benign Obese Phenotype

a

Risk factors include: top tertile of epicardial fat, pericardial fat, and leptin, and bottom tertile of hepatic attenuation score, soluble leptin receptor and HMW adiponectin

b

Metabolically benign phenotype definition: ≤1 of: elevated blood pressure (≥130/85 mmHg), elevated TG (≥150 mg/dL), elevated fasting glucose (≥100 mg/dL), low HDL cholesterol (<50 mg/dL).

c

Model 1: adjusted for age, race, site of recruitment, education, physical activity, smoking, and alcohol

d

Model 2: Model 1 + waist circumference
