Core Tip
Core tip: The risk of developing prediabetes based on metabolic/obesity phenotypes has been poorly investigated. In a 14-year follow-up cohort study, we observed that metabolically unhealthy normal weight, metabolically healthy obese (MHO), and metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO) were at higher risk for developing prediabetes compared to metabolically healthy normal weight (MHNW) subjects. The results stratified by sex demonstrated no significant association in men, while the risk of prediabetes development was significantly higher in all metabolic/obesity phenotypes in women compared to MHNW. Transforming from each phenotype to MHNW or MHO was not related to an increased risk of prediabetes development, whereas transforming from each phenotype to MUO was associated with an increased risk of prediabetes.
