About The Study: The results of this survey study suggest that the prevalence of metabolically healthy obesity (people with obesity who do not have obesity-related cardiometabolic abnormalities) increased among U.S. adults during the past 2 decades, but differences in trends existed across sociodemographic subgroups. Effective strategies are needed to improve metabolic health status and prevent obesity-related complications in adults with obesity.
