Metabolically Healthy Obesity and the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in the General Population  - Analysis of a Nationwide Epidemiological Database.

CONCLUSIONS: Among individuals with no metabolic disorders, MHO alone did not significantly increase the subsequent CVD risk. However, individuals with comorbid MHO and abdominal obesity had a higher risk of myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation, suggesting the prognostic importance of abdominal obesity in subjects with MHO.
