When more is not worse: genetic subtypes of obesity challenge conventional risk paradigms
Emerging evidence challenges the view of obesity as a uniform metabolic risk. Spotlighting the recent Nature Medicine study by Chami et al., this piece discusses how "uncoupling" adiposity from its cardiometabolic consequences reveals biologically distinct subtypes of obesity. Integrating imaging and multi-omics offers a promising path toward personalized obesity management and deeper mechanistic insight.

Abstract

Emerging evidence challenges the view of obesity as a uniform metabolic risk. Spotlighting the recent Nature Medicine study by Chami et al., this piece discusses how "uncoupling" adiposity from its cardiometabolic consequences reveals biologically distinct subtypes of obesity. Integrating imaging and multi-omics offers a promising path toward personalized obesity management and deeper mechanistic insight.
