Abstract

Obesity prevalence is increasing worldwide, including in Korea. It is associated with increased risk of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. However, certain obese individualsfall into the category of metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and do not have cardiometabolic risk characteristics such as dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and hypertension. Diet and lifestyle intervention are the main therapeutic strategies for treatment of obesity. However, the effect of diet and lifestyle interventionon MHO is unclear. Therefore, in this report, I will review the relationship between diet,lifestyle and MHO.
