Differences in fat distribution between metabolically unhealthy people with normal weight versus obesity, NHANES 2011–2018
The study shows increased android fat as the main abnormality in MUL individuals and decreased gynoid fat as the main abnormality in MUO individuals. The differences in android and gynoid fat patterns between MUL and MUO groups suggest different mechanisms of metabolic dysfunction in people who are lean versus those with obesity.
