Abstract:
The problem of obesity is getting serious.However,recent studies have shown that obesity is not necessarily harmful to health,thus the concept of metabolically healthy obesity is proposed.So far,no standard definition/criterion had been set up for metabolically healthy obesity.Through searching related literature on metabolically healthy obesity worldwide,different diagnostic criteria were reviewed,and compared with the difference of prevalence as well.The aim of the study is to provide reference for the precise prevention of obesity in China.
