Normal weight obesity: a risk factor for cardiometabolic dysregulation and cardiovascular mortality. (2010, background): “8 However, a significant limitation of using BMI is its failure to differentiate between an elevated BF content and preserved or increased lean mass, especially in patients with a BMI ,30 kg/m(2).(9) –15 An excess in adiposity has been clearly associated with numerous comorbidies and pathophysiologi”
The gut microbiota and host health: a new clinical frontier (2015, background): “27 In addition, the aetiology of obesity and its metabolic complications, including low grade in ﬂ ammation, hyperlipid-aemia, hypertension, glucose intolerance and diabetes, re ﬂ ect the complex interactions of these multiple genetic, behavioural and environmental factors.”
Moving beyond body condition indices as an estimate of fitness in ecological and evolutionary studies (2016, background): “…which is a body condition index for humans) is a poor predictor of morbidity and mortality in humans and why people with similar BMI can have different metabolic health (e.g. metabolically healthy obese; Romero-Corral et al. 2008; Ahima & Lazar 2013; Roberson et al. 2014; Solon-Biet et al. 2014).”
