Obesity contributes to more than 60 different unhealthy conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Knowing that more than one-third of adults in the United States are obese, researchers from Washington University School of Medicine decided to study the risk these people faced. They published their findings in The Journal of Clinical Investigation.
"This research demonstrates that some obese people are protected from the adverse metabolic effects of moderate weight gain, whereas others are predisposed to develop these problems," said the study’s senior investigator Dr. Samuel Klein, director of Washington University's Center for Human Nutrition, in a press release. "This observation is important clinically because about 25 percent of obese people do not have metabolic complications. Our data shows that these people remain metabolically normal even after they gain additional weight."
