Organ-Hugging ‘Skinny Fat’ Puts Health At Risk In People With Normal BMI
✦ NabkaNews BriefAuto-summarized from multiple outlets · verify with the source
Research suggests that individuals with a normal body mass index (BMI) may still be at risk for health problems due to a condition where fat accumulates around internal organs, despite appearing thin externally. This condition has been referred to as "skinny fat" or "tofi" (thin on the outside, fat inside). Some studies indicate that being underweight may pose a greater health risk than being overweight, although the specifics of this risk are not fully detailed.
