People who are of normal weight but have fat concentrated in their bellies have a higher death risk than those who are obese, according to Mayo Clinic research. ?We knew from previous research that central obesity is bad, but what is new in this research is that the distribution of the fat is very important even in people with a normal weight,? says senior author Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, M.D., a cardiologist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. ?This group has the highest death rate, even higher than those who are considered obese".
