Slender figure can also have obesity problems

Scientists at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, collected data from 2127 respondents who participated in the U.S. Federal Third National Health and Nutrition Analysis Survey. The researchers specifically analyzed health risk factors such as heart disease, diabetes and metabolic syndrome. It was found that 61% of people had normal weight but excessive body fat and suffered from "normal-weight obesity."

Dr. Francisco, the study leader, said that normal weight does not necessarily equal healthy weight; more than half of Americans with normal weight have an excessive proportion of body fat. These people, like people who are overweight, are at risk of heart disease, diabetes and other metabolic disorders.

The study found that although the height to weight ratio is normal, men with more than 20% body fat and women with more than 30% body fat are both "normal-weight obesity" patients. "Too much body fat is very harmful, especially in key organs such as the liver, when too much fat is likely to be fatal."

Researchers pointed out at the American College of Cardiology's annual meeting in Chicago that doctors and patients should note that weight is not the only way to diagnose certain related diseases. Doctors should also advise people with normal weight to exercise actively and maintain a healthy diet to reduce body fat levels, especially abdominal fat.
