Introduction: Normal weight obesity (NWO) is defined by the presence of normal body mass index (BMI) with high body fat percentage. In this setting, high body fat seems to affect even non-obese individuals, predicting cardiovascular risk. Hypothesis: High body fat percentage, in eutrophic individuals, affects anthropometry, hemodynamic, autonomic function and cardiometabolic risk. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited workers of a public hospital from 2018 to 2020. Inclusion criteria: age ≥ 18 yr.; BMI: 18.5 to 24.9 Kg/m 2 . Exclusion criteria: pregnancy/lactating women; BMI < 18.5 Kg/m 2 or ≥ 25 Kg/m 2 . High body fat percentage was categorized, by sex and age, as: 20 to 39 years, >19.9% and >32.9%; 40 to 59 years, >21.9% and >33.9%; and 60 to 79 years, >24.9% and >35.9% for men and women, respectively. Blood assays: fasting glucose, lipid profile and C reactive protein; anthropometry: neck, waist and hip circumferences; bioimpedance: visceral fat area and body fat percentage; hemodynamic parameters: blood pressure and double product; autonomic function: orthostatic test (30:15 ratio), orthostatic hypotension test and heart rate variability (HRV): high and low frequency and sympathovagal index; cardiometabolic risk: body shape index, atherogenic dyslipidemia, atherogenic index, atherogenic index of plasma and Framingham score. Statistical analysis: Mann-Whitney and chi-squared test. P<0.05. Ethics: according to Helsinki declaration, revised in 2013. Results: A total of 52 from 241 volunteers were eutrophic: 23 were NWO, that exhibited higher visceral fat area, anthropometric measures, blood pressure and double product; and worse lipid profile, HRV frequency domain and cardiometabolic risk parameters compared to the 29 with normal body fat percentage (table 1) . Conclusions: NWO individuals have metabolic, hemodynamic, anthropometric and autonomic alterations that, associated with new indexes related to atherogenesis, confirm the early cardiometabolic risk of this profile.

Background: Poor vitamin D status is a worldwide health problem. Yet, knowledge about vitamin D status among adolescents in Southern Europe is limited. This study investigated concentrations and modulating factors of vitamin D in a healthy population of male late adolescents living in Southern Switzerland. Methods: All apparently healthy subjects attending for the medical evaluation before the compulsory military service in Southern Switzerland during 2014-2016 were eligible. Dark-skin subjects, subjects on vitamin D supplementation or managed with diseases or drugs involved in vitamin D metabolism were excluded. Anthropometric measurements (body height, weight, fat percentage, mid-upper arm and waist circumference) and blood sampling for total 25-hydroxy-vitamin D, total cholesterol and ferritin concentrations testing, were collected. Participants filled in a structured questionnaire addressing their lifestyle. Characteristics of the subjects with adequate (≥50 nmol/L–≤250 nmol/L) and insufficient (<50 nmol/L) vitamin D values were compared by Kruskal-Wallis test or χ2 test. Odds ratios for 25-hydroxy-vitamin D insufficiency were calculated by univariate and AIC-selected multiple logistic regression models. Results: A total of 1045 subjects volunteered to participate in the study. Insufficient concentrations of vitamin D were detected in 184 (17%). The season of measurement was the most significant factor associated with vitamin D levels and approximately 40% of subjects presented insufficient vitamin D concentrations in winter. After model selection, body fat percentage, frequency and site of recreational physical activity, and the seasonality were significantly associated with the risk of vitamin D insufficiency. Conclusions: Among healthy male late adolescents in Southern Switzerland, about one every fourth subject presents a poor vitamin D status in non-summer seasons. Body fat percentage, frequent and outdoor recreational physical activity are modulating factors of vitamin D status in this population.
