Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the associations of macronutrient quality indices with the incident metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUNW) and metabolically unhealthy overweight/obesity (MUO) phenotypes. METHODS This prospective study included 512 metabolically healthy normal weight and 787 metabolically healthy overweight/obese adults from the third study examination of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study. The participants were followed through the sixth study examination. Diet was measured with a food frequency questionnaire. The macronutrient quality index (MQI), carbohydrate quality index (CQI), fat quality index (FQI), and healthy plate quality index (HPPQI) were calculated. Hazard ratio (HR) and 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI) were estimated for incident unhealthy phenotypes using Cox regression. RESULTS After controlling all possible confounding factors, a one-point higher HPPQI was linked to a 28 % lower risk of MUNW (HR = 0.72; 95 % CI = 0.59, 0.87). Compared to the lowest quartile, the incident MUNW was also lower in the two last quartiles of the HPPQI. A one-unit increase in MQI was associated with a 5 % lower incident MUO (HR = 0.95; 95 % CI = 0.92, 0.99). The incident MUO was also higher for the highest compared to the lowest MQI quartile. In quartiles 2-4 of the HPPQI, incident MUO was lower with respective HRs (95 % CI) of 0.71 (0.54, 0.93), 0.60 (0.45, 0.80), and 0.66 (0.50, 0.86) in the fully-adjusted model. CONCLUSIONS A higher overall macronutrient quality was independently associated with a lower incident MUO. A higher dietary protein quality was related to a lower risk for MUNW and MUO.

Abstract
This study investigated the association between ultra-processed foods (UPF) and the risk of metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUNW) and metabolically unhealthy overweight/obese (MUO). We included 512 normal-weight and 787 overweight/obese adults with a metabolically healthy phenotype from the Tehran and Lipid Glucose Study, who were followed from the third (baseline) to the sixth study examinations. Each 10% increase in energy intake from UPF was related to a 54% (95% CI = 21-96%) and 2% (95% CI = 1-3%) higher risk of MUNW and MUO, respectively. The risk of MUNW was significantly higher in quartile 4 compared to quartile 1. The restricted cubic splines suggested that the risk of MUNW increases monotonically when UPF accounts for at least 20% of energy intake. No non-linear association was observed between UPF and the risk of MUO. Energy intake from UPF was positively related to the risk of MUNW and MUO.

Abstract
The concept of metabolically healthy vs. unhealthy obese (MHO vs. MUO) was expanded to non-obese individuals as obesity-related comorbidities exist in a sub-group of normal weight (NW), i.e., MHNW vs. MUNW. It is unclear if MUNW differs from MHO with respect to cardiometabolic health. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare cardiometabolic disease risk factors between MH vs. MU across weight status, NW, and obesity. METHOD A total of 8160 adults were included in the study from both the 2019 and 2020 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. Individuals with NW vs. obesity were further stratified as MH vs. MU by using AHA/NHLBI criterion for metabolic syndrome. A retrospective pair-matched analysis with respect to sex (male/female) and age ( ± 2 years) was performed to verify our total cohort analyses/results. RESULTS Despite a gradual increase in BMI and waist circumference from MHNW to MUNW to MHO to MUO, the surrogate estimates of insulin resistance and arterial stiffness were higher in MUNW vs. MHO. When compared to the MHNW, MUNW and MUO showed higher odds of hypertension (MUNW: 512%, MUO: 784%), dyslipidemia (MUNW: 210%, MUO: 245%), and diabetes (MUNW: 920%, MUO: 4012%), with no difference between MHNW and MHO. CONCLUSION Individuals with MUNW vs. MHO have greater vulnerability to cardiometabolic disease. Our data indicate that cardiometabolic risk is not solely dependent on adiposity, suggesting that early preventive efforts for chronic disease are needed for individuals with NW yet MU.

Abstract
AIM To examine the effects of changes in body size phenotypes between childhood and adulthood on risks of diabetes and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in adulthood. METHODS We included 3,351 individuals who participated as both children and adults in the Bogalusa Heart Study. RESULTS Compared with participants with persistently metabolically healthy normal weight (MHNW) from childhood to adulthood, MHNW children who became metabolically unhealthy in adulthood had increased diabetes burden and LVH risk in adulthood; Metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUNW) children who became MHNW or metabolically healthy obese (MHO) as adults and individuals with persistent MHO from childhood to adulthood were not at increased risks of diabetes or LVH. The risks were increased if MHO during childhood transitioned to metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) by adulthood or MUO stayed from childhood to adulthood. MUO children who became MHO or MHNW as adults had decreased diabetes burden and LVH risk in adulthood. CONCLUSIONS Individuals maintained MHO from childhood to adulthood and MUNW children who became MHO as adults had a diabetes burden and LVH risk similar to individuals with persistent MHNW. Progression to metabolically unhealthy status and maintenance of metabolically unhealthy status, regardless of childhood BMI status, were associated with increased cardiometabolic outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to describe the prevalence of metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUNW) rural adults in Xinjiang and to explore their influencing factors. METHODS We selected 13,525 Uyghur, Kazakh and Han participants in Kashi, Yili and Shihezi areas in Xinjiang from 2009 to 2010. Weight status was classified according to body mass index. Metabolic phenotype was further defined based on the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. RESULTS The prevalence of normal weight, overweight, and obesity were 51.6, 30.2, and 14.4%, respectively. The mean age of the population was 45.04 years. The prevalence of MHO was 5.5% overall and was 38.5% among obese participants. The prevalence of MUNW was 15.5% overall and was 30.1% among normal weight participants. A metabolically healthy phenotype among obese individuals was positively associated with females and vegetable consumption ≥4 plates per week. However, this was inversely associated with higher age, red meat consumption ≥2 kg per week, and larger waist circumference (WC). Conversely, a metabolically unhealthy phenotype among normal-weight individuals was positively associated with higher age, red meat consumption ≥2 kg per week, and larger WC; this was however inversely associated with vegetable consumption ≥4 plates per week. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of MHO among obese adults in Xinjiang is higher than that of Han adults, while the prevalence of MUNW among normal weight adults is lower than that among Han adults. In obese and normal weight participants, higher age, more red meat consumption, and larger WC increase the risk of metabolic abnormality, and more vegetable consumption reduces the risk of metabolic abnormality.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the anthropometric and body composition parameters associated with the metabolically obese normal-weight (MONW) phenotype. This cross-sectional study was conducted with 506 adolescents in Brazil (aged 10-19 y). The MONW phenotype was defined as normal-weight, according to BMI/age, and at least one metabolic alteration. Anthropometric measurements were obtained and the DEXA was used for body composition analysis. Crude and adjusted Poisson regression models with robust variance were used to estimate the associations. The phenotype was positively associated with waist circumference (male: prevalence ratio (PR) = 1·05; 95% CI 1·01, 1·09; female: PR = 1·06; 95% CI 1·02, 1·09), waist:height ratio (male: PR = 1·26; 95% CI 1·07, 1·49; female: PR = 1·29; 95% CI 1·07, 1·56) and android:gynoid fat ratio (male: PR = 1·25; 95% CI 1·03, 1·51; female: PR = 1·39; 95% CI 1·20, 1·62), in both sexes. Furthermore, there was a positive association of phenotype with waist:hip ratio (PR = 1·32; 95% CI 1·06, 1·65) and trunk:arm fat ratio (PR = 1·13; 95% CI 1·02, 1·24) only in males and with trunk:leg fat ratio (PR = 2·84; 95% CI 1·46, 5·53), BAIp (PR = 1·06; 95% CI 1·01, 1·12), fat mass index (PR = 1·24; 95% CI 1·10, 1·41) and regional indices of metabolic load and capacity (PR = 1·29; 95% CI 1·09, 1·53), in females. Anthropometric and body composition parameters indicative of central and total fat are associated with the MONW phenotype.

Abstract
AIMS Central adiposity is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, even among people with normal body mass index (BMI). We tested the hypothesis that regional body fat deposits (trunk or leg fat) are associated with altered risk of CVD among postmenopausal women with normal BMI. METHODS AND RESULTS We included 2683 postmenopausal women with normal BMI (18.5 to <25 kg/m2) who participated in the Women's Health Initiative and had no known CVD at baseline. Body composition was determined by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Incident CVD events including coronary heart disease and stroke were ascertained through February 2017. During a median 17.9 years of follow-up, 291 incident CVD cases occurred. After adjustment for demographic, lifestyle, and clinical risk factors, neither whole-body fat mass nor fat percentage was associated with CVD risk. Higher percent trunk fat was associated with increased risk of CVD [highest vs. lowest quartile hazard ratio (HR) = 1.91, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.33-2.74; P-trend <0.001], whereas higher percent leg fat was associated with decreased risk of CVD (highest vs. lowest quartile HR = 0.62, 95% CI 0.43-0.89; P-trend = 0.008). The association for trunk fat was attenuated yet remained significant after further adjustment for waist circumference or waist-to-hip ratio. Higher percent trunk fat combined with lower percent leg fat was associated with particularly high risk of CVD (HR comparing extreme groups = 3.33, 95% CI 1.46-7.62). CONCLUSION Among postmenopausal women with normal BMI, both elevated trunk fat and reduced leg fat are associated with increased risk of CVD.

Abstract
AIMS To describe the distribution and changes of different metabolic/obese phenotypes among more than 22,000 male elderly in China, and also explore the association with diabetes incidence. METHODS A cohort study based on 22,276 male elderly was conducted in Beijing, from 2009 to 2013. Multiple Cox model was used to calculate the relative risk. RESULTS There were only 53.8% of total participants who kept the same phenotype for the 5 years. On the whole, participants with metabolically unhealthy phenotypes had higher relative risks (RRs) than those with metabolically healthy phenotypes. RRs for diabetes showed an increasing trend along with metabolic abnormalities (p < 0.001). However, no statistically significant difference was found across different obese status with the same number of metabolic abnormalities. Changes of metabolic/obese status also showed the same trend. Those who had kept metabolic unhealthy had the highest RRs for diabetes incidence, which was higher than those who kept obesity. CONCLUSIONS Both metabolically healthy obesity and metabolically unhealthy normal weight phenotypes had an increased risk for diabetes incidence, and metabolic abnormalities might have more influence on diabetes than obesity itself. Changes of metabolic/obese status also had an important impact on diabetes incidence.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Purpose of review: It is becoming increasingly clear that some obese individuals do not develop dyslipidemia and instead remain healthy, while some normal weight individuals become dyslipidemic and unhealthy. RECENT FINDINGS The present review examines the similarities and differences between healthy and unhealthy individuals with and without obesity and discusses putative underlying mechanisms of dyslipidemia. The presence of dyslipidemia and compromised metabolic health in both lean and obese individuals suggests that the obese phenotype per se does not represent a main independent risk factor for the development of dyslipidemia and that dyslipidemia, rather than obesity, may be the driver of metabolic diseases. Notably, adipose tissue dysfunction and ectopic lipid deposition, in particular in the liver, seems a common trait of unhealthy individuals.
