In 2014, the BioSHaRE–EU Healthy Obese Project (sponsored by Maelstrom Research, a team under the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre) came up with two definitions for healthy obesity, one more strict and one less so:
| Less strict | More strict | |
|---|---|---|
| Blood pressure measured as follows, with no pharmaceutical help | ||
| Overall (mmHg) | ≤ 140 | ≤ 130 |
| Systolic (mmHg) | N/A | ≤ 85 |
| Diastolic (mmHg) | ≤ 90 | N/A |
| Blood sugar level measured as follows, with no pharmaceutical help | ||
| Blood glucose (mmol/L) | ≤ 7.0 | ≤ 6.1 |
| Triglycerides measured as follows, with no pharmaceutical help | ||
| Fasting (mmol/L) | ≤ 1.7 | |
| Non-fasting (mmol/L) | ≤ 2.1 | |
| High-density lipoprotein measured as follows, with no pharmaceutical help | ||
| Men (mmol/L) | > 1.03 | |
| Women (mmol/L) | > 1.3 | |
| No diagnosis of any cardiovascular disease | ||
