Characteristics of individuals with obesity classified as metabolically healthy (MHO) or unhealthy (MUHO).
| MHO | MUHO | p | |
|---|---|---|---|
| N (women/men) | 7/4 | 7/4 | 1.0a |
| Age (y) | 43 ± 10 | 39 ± 13 | 0.3b |
| BMI (kg/m2) | 52.5 ± 8.5 | 51.6 ± 6.7 | 1.0c |
| Body fat (%) | 49.5 ± 12.3 | 51.5 ± 11.7 | 0.7c |
| AUC0-120 glucose (mmol/L) | 16.2 ± 2.4 | 18.6 ± 3.5 | 0.0044c |
| HbA1c (%) | 5.6 ± 0.4 | 5.9 ± 0.3 | 0.05c |
| ISI-OGTT (x106 L/kg/min) | 7.10 ± 2.14 | 2.66 ± 0.70 | 0.0000003c |
| AUC0-30 C-peptide/glucose (pmol/mmol) | 208 ± 73 | 329 ± 101 | 0.6d |
| Leukocytes (μL−1) | 7,056 ± 1,782 | 10,086 ± 3,192 | 0.0127c |
| CRP (mg/dL) | 0.61 ± 0.51 | 1.30 ± 1.03 | 0.2c |
Data represents number or mean ± SD.
AUC – area under the curve; BMI – body mass index; CRP – C-reactive protein; HbA1c – hemoglobin A1c; ISI – insulin sensitivity index; MHO – metabolically healthy obese; MUHO – metabolically unhealthy obese; OGTT – oral glucose tolerance test.
