Abstract: Shall metabolically normal obese be treated? The presence of metabolic disorders varies widely among obese individuals. A subset of the obese population appears to be protected or more resistant to the development of metabolic abnormalities associated with obesity. These individuals, despite having excessive body fatness, have a metabolic profile characterized by high levels of insulin sensitivity, no hypertension and lipid profile and hormonal favorable. However, recent studies indicate that this healthy metabolic profile did not translate into lower risk of mortality. The cardiovascular risk of metabolically healthy obese is not the same as normal weight individuals, and they are still subject to non metabolic complications of obesity. It is concluded that interventions to weight control are indicated in all obese individuals.
