B Al-Khalidi, SM Kimball, JL Kuk, CI Ardern - Clinical Nutrition, 2019 - Elsevier
Summary Background & Aims Previous studies assessing the prognosis of metabolically
healthy obesity (MHO) have been limited by a lack of a harmonized definition of MHO
phenotype. Furthermore, obesity is a risk factor for vitamin D deficiency and low vitamin D
status has been associated with a higher risk of mortality; however, few studies have
evaluated the joint association between vitamin D, metabolic health phenotype, and
mortality risk. Using a harmonized definition, we investigated whether MHO is associated …
