Differences in metabolic characteristics between Metabolically Healthy Obesity (MHO) and Metabolically Unhealthy Obesity (MUO) in weight reduction therapy by Shiori Kawai, Hajime Yamakage, Kazuhiko Kotani, Mitsuhiko Noda, Noriko Satoh-Asahara, Koshi Hashimoto

“…On the other hand, no significant differences were observed in inflammatory markers between the MHO and MUO groups, suggesting the presence of chronic inflammation in both groups. Furthermore, a positive correlation was noted between changes in serum cystatin C levels and waist circumference in the MHO group, which indicated that despite the absence of metabolic disorders, the MHO group exhibited anti-inflammatory responses during weight reduction therapy. …”
