Associations of obesity phenotypes with weight change, cardiometabolic benefits, and type 2 diabetes incidence during a lifestyle intervention: results from the PREVIEW study
Authors' conclusion
Individuals with MUO had greater improvements in some cardiometabolic risk factors during the low-energy diet phase, but had smaller improvements during long-term lifestyle intervention than those with MHO.
Study context
- Population
- Participants with overweight/obesity in the PREVIEW randomised trial undergoing a lifestyle intervention
- Participants
- 1,012 vs 1,153
- Comparison
- Metabolically healthy overweight/obesity (MHO) vs metabolically unhealthy overweight/obesity (MUO)
- MHOn = 1,012
- MUOn = 1,153reference
- Primary endpoint
- Change in body weight (%)
- Follow-up
- 156 weeks
Methodological details8-week low-energy diet followed by 148-week lifestyle-based weight-maintenance intervention, adjusted linear mixed models, Cox proportional hazards regression
- 8-week low-energy diet followed by 148-week lifestyle-based weight-maintenance intervention
- Adjusted linear mixed models
- Cox proportional hazards regression

Triglyceride change · after low-energy diet phase
- Similar reductions in fasting glucose and HOMA-IR in MHO vs MUO
Triglyceride change · end of weight maintenance
- Greater reductions in fasting glucose and HOMA-IR with MHO vs MUO
Diastolic blood pressure, HbA1c and HDL-C · after weight loss and end of weight maintenance
- MHO had smaller decreases in diastolic blood pressure and HbA1c and greater decreases in HDL-C after weight loss vs MUO; significant differences disappeared at end of weight maintenance
