Research Article: Circulating MicroRNA-a, Beclin and Their Association with Different Variables in Females with Metabolically Healthy /Unhealthy Obesity
Abstract:
Obesity is a major global health concern. Obesity is associated with a group of metabolic complications, including atherogenic dyslipidemia, abnormalities in glucose metabolism, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease that can progress to diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, not all individuals with obesity have metabolic disorders, making them a distinct category of people with obesity defined as metabolically healthy obesity (MHO). There are different criteria to classify obesity as MHO and metabolically healthy obesity (MUO). These criteria are partly similar to the criteria for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome. Although obesity is a major risk factor for the development of metabolic syndrome and its components, this relationship is not fully unequivocal and there are non-obese people who meet the criteria for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome.
