TL;DR: In contrast to obese insulin-resistant subjects, metabolically healthy obese individuals are less common than previously thought and do not show increased all-cause, cancer, and CVD mortality risks in a 15-year follow-up study.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the association of habitual physical activity, insulin resistance, and adiponectin with intrahepatic fat (IHF) content and found that a higher level of physical activity is associated with a lower IHF content and suggested that this relationship may be due to the effect of exercise per se.

TL;DR: FLI is independently associated with hepatic‐related mortality, and is also associated with all‐cause, CVD, and cancer mortality rates, but these associations appear to be tightly interconnected with the risk conferred by the correlated insulin‐resistant state.

TL;DR: In newly found individuals with fatty liver, fat was accumulated in the epicardial area and despite normal LV morphological features and systolic and diastolic functions, they had abnormal LV energy metabolism.

TL;DR: NAFLD is common in childhood obesity, and insulin resistance is present in association with increased trunk fat content, whereas the rearrangement of whole body substrate oxidation in these youngsters appeared to be an independent feature.
