Because adipose tissue is a complex endocrine organ that secretes many substances with profound effects on metabolism and the cardiovascular (CV) system, most obese subjects have an increased CV risk. However, 20% of obese subjects are metabolically healthy, and many studies suggest that fat distribution, in particular abdominal fat excess, is the most important factor that determines a secretion of adipose products that may increase CV risk.
