Based on the emerging evidence for the existence
of the very interesting extreme metabolic
phenotypes metabolically healthy obesity and metabolically unhealthy normal weight the scientist then studied the prevalence
of the 4 at - risk
phenotypes among the different BMI categories (normal weight, overweight, and obese) in subjects with NGR and
prediabetes.
In The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology DZD scientists have now summarized information from the literature and have provided novel data indicating that in future the determination
of the 4 major
phenotypes fatty liver, visceral obesity and impaired production and action
of insulin may help to improve prediction and prevention
of cardiometabolic risk in
prediabetes.
