Abstract

There is growing evidence that obese adults without metabolic risk factor clustering (the so-called "healthy obese") progress to unhealthy obesity over time (1). However, the pathophysiological changes underlying the long-term transition into an unhealthy obese state have not been well characterized. To inform the clinical management of healthy obesity, we aimed to identify the metabolic risk factors responsible for this transition, as well as the timing of their onset.
