HealthPhoto: HT HealthDoctor Explains Why BMI Alone Can't Assess Metabolic Health
Dr Niraj Kumar, Senior Consultant at Shardacare – Healthcity, explains that a normal BMI does not guarantee good metabolic health. People with normal body weight may still have excess visceral fat, increasing risks of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. He emphasizes the importance of looking beyond BMI to assess long-term health by understanding different types of abdominal fat.
