Abstrak

The prevalence of obesity is growing all over the world. Obesity is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes. However, not all obese patients have an unfavorable cardio-metabolic profile. Recently, much attention has been paid to the concept of «metabolically healthy obesity» (MHO). To date, there are no single criteria for identifying individuals with MHO, which makes it difficult to study this subgroup of patients and to conduct a comparative analysis of various studies. The article presents data of modern literature, including the definition, prevalence and mechanisms of MHO development, also discusses potentially protective factors involved in MHO development and the consequences of the therapeutic impact on MHO.
