INTRODUCTION: Various phenotypes of overweight and obesity pose various health risks. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of 4 commonly measured cardiometabolic risk factors (CRFs) among adults with overweight or obesity, but not diabetes, at the time of the study. METHODS: 5.7%-6.4% or ICD-9-CM 790.2x). We tested the risk of having 1 or more CRFs after adjusting for obesity class and demographic characteristics with multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS: Among participants with overweight (52.5% of the sample), 18.6% had none of the 4 CRFs. Among the 47.5% of participants with obesity, 9.6% had none; among participants with morbid obesity, 5.8% had none. Age was strongly associated with CRFs in multivariable analysis. CONCLUSION: Almost 10% of participants with obesity had no CRFs. Overweight or obesity increases cardiometabolic risk, but the number and type of CRFs varied substantially by age, even among participants with morbid obesity.

Nichols et al. (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in Overweight or Obesity, without diabetes (n=1,300,000). Overweight and obesity (by class) vs. Different classes of overweight and obesity was evaluated on Prevalence of having none of 4 commonly measured cardiometabolic risk factors (CRFs). Among adults without diabetes, the proportion with no cardiometabolic risk factors was 18.6% for those with overweight, 9.6% for those with obesity, and 5.8% for those with morbid obesity.
