At a BMI above 30, these subjects are deemed “metabolically healthy obese.” Like obese patients suffering from cardio-metabolic risks (the “metabolically abnormal obese”), they have high visceral and subcutaneous fat mass, though metabolically healthy obese patients sometimes have excessive body fat but lower fat infiltration in the liver and in skeletal muscle.
体重指数超过30时，这些受试者被确定为“健康的代谢肥胖”。像罹患心脏代谢风险（“代谢异常肥胖”）的肥胖患者一样，他们的内脏和皮下脂肪量较高，而代谢健康的肥胖患者尽管有时身体脂肪量超标，却较少出现脂肪浸润肝脏和骨骼肌的情况。
