Evaluating obesity phenotypes in men aged 50–80 years: comparative insights from visceral fat, liver stiffness, and lipid-based indices

BMC Endocrine Disorders

Cross-sectional study in a single-sex, geographically limited cohort using surrogate measures (visceral fat, liver stiffness, lipid indices) without hard clinical outcomes; findings are descriptive and hypothesis-generating rather than definitive.

Measures of obesity and first atherosclerotic cardiovascular events in stage 0 cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome: Tehran lipid and glucose study

Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome

Prospective cohort study with 19.6-year median follow-up, hard clinical endpoint (incident ASCVD), and consistent dose–response relationships across multiple abdominal obesity measures with statistical significance and robust sensitivity analyses.

Cardiovascular–Kidney–Metabolic Syndrome and Its Hepatic Dimension: A Narrative Review

Medicina

This is a narrative review synthesizing current understanding of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome and hepatic involvement, offering diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations rather than reporting original research evidence.

Association between modified cardiometabolic index and stroke events among individuals with overweight or obesity across cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome stages 1–4: a prospective cohort study

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders

A prospective cohort study with adequate sample size and multivariate adjustment showing a graded dose-response association between modified cardiometabolic index and stroke risk in a high-risk population, but limited by observational design, moderate effect sizes, and lack of established clinical utility.

OGTT diagnostic patterns, prepregnancy BMI, and residual risk of term macrosomia at routine 24–28-week screening: a retrospective cohort study

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth

A single-centre retrospective cohort study identifying clinically plausible risk stratification patterns using routine OGTT and BMI, but explicitly not yet validated for individual prediction or clinical management.

Population-Level Heterogeneity in People with Obesity: A Cross-Sectional Cluster Analysis of a Population-Based Registry

Journal of Clinical Medicine

A cross-sectional cluster analysis of registry data identifying five obesity phenotypes; descriptive and hypothesis-generating rather than testing a causal relationship or clinical outcome, and without a comparator or intervention effect.

Adiposity–Metabolic Discordance Identifies Cardiometabolically Heterogeneous Profiles in Normal-Weight Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study

Medical Sciences

Cross-sectional analysis of a large occupational cohort confirming that BMI-normal adults exhibit metabolic heterogeneity and hidden cardiometabolic risk not detected by weight-based screening alone, replicating established knowledge that adiposity and metabolic dysfunction may diverge.

Multivariate Genome-Wide Association Analysis Identifies Genetic Susceptibility Loci for Metabolic Syndrome in the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study

International Journal of Molecular Sciences

A well-designed multivariate genome-wide association study with discovery and validation cohorts identifying 79 susceptibility loci for metabolic syndrome; findings are replicable but represent discovery in a specific population without functional or clinical validation.
