 New research unveiled by Mayo scientists this spring suggests a big surprise: Many people who fit the definition of “normal weight” in fact risk heart disease and metabolic problems such as Type 2 diabetes. It’s all based on percent body fat, say scientists. A man with more than 20% fat or a woman with more than 30% could be at risk for many of the illnesses that affect overweight individuals.
Related research from Kaiser Permanente suggests that the waistline at midlife is linked to the risk for dementia later in life. Even when body weight is normal, if the waistline is big, there’s a 2-3X greater risk, according to the study. For women, risk begins when the waistline passes 35 inches; for men, it’s 40 inches.
