Risk Of Diabetes Or Prediabetes Is Determined By Body Fat Percentage
Body Fat Is More Relevant Than Body Mass Index (Bmi) For Determining If A Person Is Healthy
There are new guidelines that establish that body fat percentage determines whether or not a person is considered obese. On the other hand, the body mass index (BMI) can determine if a person is overweight, even if he has low body fat. A recent study determined that more people with BMI within the normal range (therefore, not considered overweight), but with a high body fat percentage had diabetes or prediabetes, compared to people with high BMI, but low body fat. Therefore, researches determined that the percentage of body fat is more relevant for determining the risk of diabetes or prediabetes than the BMI. Also, the percentage of body fat is related to abnormal blood glucose, leading to diabetes. Click here for more info.
