Adiposopathy

The concept of adiposopathy provides a parsimonious framework to explain adiposity-related metabolic diseases and resolve the various obesity paradoxes in cardiovascular disease.

Cite This Study

Harold Bays (2014) conducted a review in Adiposopathy, Obesity, and Cardiovascular Disease. Adiposopathy was evaluated. Adiposopathy, or 'sick fat', is the primary cause of most adiposity-related metabolic diseases, and recognizing its pathogenic potential helps resolve the various obesity paradoxes.
