Abstract

There has been a recent interest in the subgroup of individuals who are overweight and obese but have normal features despite of adiposity. Many people believe that despite increased adiposity,
these overweight and obese individuals may have normal metabolic features. As per the meta- analysis, published in theAnnals of Internal Medicine, the occurrence of optimum levels of
blood glucose, blood pressure, and triglycerides protects these individuals from the cardiovascular diseases. JMS 2013;16(2):104
