As far as I can gauge, the “negative metabolic effects of obesity" are almost entirely from visceral fat. And subcutaneous fat, especially lower body subcutaneous fat, is so healthy that it may even mitigate or reduce the risks of visceral fat. https://t.co/ch8Yg3Gtw3

What people are saying
Discussions reflect a recognition that BMI measurements are limited, with comments like 'BMI does not reflect fat distribution' and explanations of how visceral fat impacts health, which demonstrate a nuanced understanding and interest. The tone varies from informative to supportive, emphasizing the significance of the study's insights into fat distribution and mortality risks.
Most discussions acknowledge that BMI alone is insufficient for assessing health risks and emphasize the importance of fat distribution, aligning with the article's findings.
Participants seem moderately interested, evidenced by their engagement with the topic and references to fat types and health implications.
Several comments reference specific concepts like visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and the study's implications, indicating thoughtful engagement.
The discussions highlight awareness of how the article shifts understanding of health risk factors, suggesting moderate perceived importance.
Abstract in brief
- Individuals with normal BMI but central obesity, measured by waist-to-hip ratio, face higher risks of total and cardiovascular mortality compared to those with similar BMI but no central fat.
- The study found that normal-weight individuals with central obesity have worse long-term survival prospects, with significantly increased hazard ratios for mortality.
- Waist-to-hip ratio is a crucial indicator of fat distribution that can identify high-risk individuals who might appear healthy based on BMI alone.
