Obesity Severity and Duration Are Associated With Incident Metabolic Syndrome: Evidence Against Metabolically Healthy Obesity From the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

Abstract: Both duration and severity of obesity are positively associated with incident metabolic syndrome, suggesting that metabolically healthy obesity is a transient state in the pathway to cardiometabolic disease. Weight loss should be recommended to all individuals with obesity, including those who are currently defined as metabolically healthy.

“…It has been reported that central obesity is one of the main characteristics of MetS, particularly due to increased values of free fatty acids in the blood and the inhibition of insulin action in peripheral tissues [50,51,52]. In the present study, we observed 10.7% of central obesity in the population assessed, a value that increased to 56.6% in individuals with MetS.…”

“…Thus, early detection of abnormality in circulating levels of apoptotic EPCs may be a biomarker of IR and predictor of Met-UHO in patients with abdominal obesity when other metabolic disturbances are absent or evidence regarding them is fare limited. Recently it has been suggested that Met-HO is a stage of development of Met-UHO and T2DM (Mongraw-Chaffin et al, 2016). However, our results revealed that the most important factor that affects metabolic dysregulation in obesity is IR, which probably appears to be predominantly early stage of the Met-HO.…”

“…Moreover, younger patients are less likely to have cardioembolic strokes and atrial fibrillation which have been shown to be associated with more severe strokes, large infarct volumes, and higher rates of hemorrhagic transformation and, therefore, carry a worse prognosis. Additionally, a recent analysis showed that both the severity and duration of obesity are important in the development of metabolic syndrome, meaning that “healthy” obesity is only a transitional state [16]. Our patients might have been in that transitional healthy state and developed a stroke as their first cardiovascular event, and, thus, a longer observation period beyond 90 days might help better assess outcomes in this population.…”
