Refers to a group of obese population with a relatively low risk of cardiovascular and disease.
Patients with metabolic healthy obesity have favorable metabolic profiles including insulin sensitivity, low inflammatory markers, and low body fat.
Among the obese, those with an unfavorable metabolic profile have a substantial risk for cardiovascular disease, cancer, and premature death: ref2242ed to as metabolically unhealthy obesity.

Physical activity helps to increase the transition from metabolic unhealthy obesity to metabolic healthy obesity, which may contribute to a reduction in subsequent development of type two diabetes and major cardiovascular disease complications.
