Background Obesity has been found to be a predictor of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).
However, studies which divide obesity into metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and
metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) to study the effect of obesity on LVH have been rare.
The present study aims to make clear the effects of various obese phenotypes and metabolic
abnormalities on LVH. Methods A total of 10,804 participants were involved in this cross-
sectional study.“Obesity” and “metabolically healthy” were defined as BMI≥ 25 kg/m 2 and …
