Abstract Background/Objectives Metabolically benign obesity remains a scientific field of
considerable debate. The aim of the present work was to evaluate whether metabolically
healthy obese (MHO) status is a transient condition which propagates 10-year
cardiovascular disease (CVD) onset. Methods A prospective longitudinal study was
conducted during 2001–2012, the ATTICA study studying 1514 (49.8%) men and 1528
