Adiposopathy

Cardiosource: "Adiposopathy is defined as pathological adipose tissue function that may be promoted and exacerbated by fat accumulation (adiposity) and sedentary lifestyle in genetically susceptible patients. Adiposopathy is associated with metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia more than is adiposity alone, as illustrated by patient populations such as “metabolically healthy, but obese” and “metabolically obese, but normal weight” as well as patients with lipodystrophy, familial combined hyperlipidemia, and some Asian Indians."
