Being obese better than having belly fat

A research study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine says that fat around the belly is deadlier than being obese.

According to the study, even thin people who are fat around the belly, have a higher risk of dying than those who are overweight or obese (but have normal fat distribution).

The data showed that people with normal weight but having belly fat had twice risk of dying than who were overweight or obese according to BMI only.

Be watchful and make sure weight is not added in the belly region (especially if you are thin) and if it happens try to shed is as soon as possible.
