Abstract

Around 30 to 50% of obese subjects are "metabolically normal" (MHO) whereas numerous nonobese subjects are "metabolically abnormal". The distribution and function of adipose deposits seem to play a crucial role in explaining this apparent paradox. The aim of this first article is to describe the clinical and biological characteristics that lead to the diagnosis of MHO, attempt to discover the etiopathogenesis of this syndrome and analyze the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and, finally, to assess the prevalence of the MHO phenotype, which may vary according to the definition used and the population studied.
