It is unclear if this group differs with regard to preconditions for CVDs. Our aim was to assess differences in echocardiographic parameters and inflammatory biomarkers between MHO and metabolically healthy, normal weight individuals (MHNW).Methods: The analyses used data from 1412 elderly participants from a German population-based cohort study (CARLA), which collected detailed information on demographic, biochemical, and echocardiographic variables. Participants were subdivided into four groups (MHNW, MHO, MUNW (metabolically unhealthy, normal weight) and MUO (metabolically unhealthy, obese)) based on BMI≥ 30 kg/m2 (obese or normal weight) and presence of components of the metabolic syndrome. The clinical characteristics of the 4 groups were compared with ANOVA or Chi-Square test, in addition to two linear regression models for 16 echocardiographic parameters. The difference in inflammatory biomarkers (hsCRP, IL-6 and sTNF-RI) between the groups was examined with a multinomial logistic regression model.Results: The MHO individuals were on average 64.2± 8.4 years old, with a higher proportion of women (71.6%), low percentage of smokers, larger waist circumference (109.3± 10.5 cm vs 89.1± 10.8 cm, p< 0.0001) and higher odds ratios for hsCRP, IL-6 and sTNF-RI compared to MHNW individuals. Linear regression models revealed greater left atrial (LA) diameter (2.73 (95% CI: 1.35– 4.11) mm), LA volume (7.86 (95% CI: 2.88– 12.83) mL), and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) (11.82 (95% CI: 4.43– 19.22) g/m1.7) in the MHO group compared to the MHNW group.Conclusion: The MHO phenotype is associated with echocardiographic markers of cardiac remodeling (LA diameter, volume and LVMI) and higher odds ratios for inflammatory biomarkers.Keywords: obesity phenotypes, visceral adipose tissue, cardiac remodeling, inflammatory biomarkersEfremov LLacruz METiller DMedenwald DGreiser KHKluttig AWienke ANuding SMikolajczyk RDove Medical Pressarticleobesity phenotypesvisceral adipose tissuecardiac remodelinginflammatory biomarkersSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 13, Pp 2653-2665 (2020)
