Abstract

Background/Objectives: Insulin-Resistant Normal Weight and Insulin-Sensitive Obesity are atypical cardiometabolic phenotypes whose clinico-biological features, management, and prognosis are a subject of extensive scientific debate. The current study aimed to assess the prevalence of metabolic phenotypes of obesity and to evaluate their association with markers related to diabesity, adipokines profile, and two single nucleotide polymorphisms of CNR1 gene. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional analysis in a random sample of 487 individuals (53.03 ± 13.71 years, 48.3% male) which were classified based on body mass index (
