Abstract

Obesity, an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), has been associated with the early development of coronary atherosclerosis in adolescents and young men. A subset of metabolically obese but normal weight individuals was identified, with potentially increased risks for development of the metabolic syndrome despite their normal body mass index. We determined the relationship among body fat distribution and selected CVD risk factors to distinguish normal weight obese from controls with normal metabolic profiles.
