What this study is about

The main goal of this study is to gain a thorough understanding, which specific factors drive the unhealthy sequelae of obesity. Therefore, the investigators want to understand: 1. What distinguishes obese persons without metabolic diseases from those with medical diseases in a cross-sectional comparison? 2. Which factors drive the conversions from metabolically healthy obesity into a metabolically unhealthy obesity in a longitudinal approach?

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

Treatments and study arms

The registry does not list a named intervention.

Primary outcomes

Rate of conversionConversion will be driven by the occurrence of pathological findings caused by obesity (metabolic or cardiovascular pathologies). Through study completion, an average of 1 year.

The primary endpoint is the conversion (through study completions, 10 years) from obese but metabolically healthy subjects into obese patients in a pathological metabolic state, through study completion an average of 1 year.
