Why the study?
Does Normal Weight Obesity (NWO) increase the odds of Cardiometabolic Risk Factors (CMRFs)?
Does Normal Weight Obesity (NWO) increase the odds of Cardiometabolic Risk Factors (CMRFs)?
Normal weight obesity is associated with increased odds of cardiometabolic risk factors, highlighting the limitation of BMI alone for obesity risk assessment.
NWO may refine cardiometabolic risk assessment beyond BMI alone; extends evidence that body composition metrics improve risk stratification.
The present study showed that NWO increased the odds of CMRFs. These findings indicate the inadequacy of the BMI measurement and the need for body fat assessment for a better obesity risk assessment.
