Not All Obese People Develop Metabolic Problems Linked to Excess Weight (AUDIO)
Caption
In a study at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, obese people were asked to gain additional weight to see how the added pounds affected their metabolic profiles. (After the study ended, the researchers then helped the participants lose the weight they had gained.) Senior author Samuel Klein, MD, explains the results, which showed that some obese people are protected from developing unhealthy metabolic profiles linked to diabetes and heart disease even when they gain additional weight.
