Diabetes is becoming a big problem today due to dietary and lifestyle mistakes. There was a time when diabetes was considered a problem of obese people only. But a recent research has shocked people. It has been said that not only obese people but also thin people can be victims of type-2 diabetes. Research has revealed that losing weight does not mean that the amount of fat in your body is less. Therefore, you should always pay attention to the amount of fat in your body. Let's know what this research is and what are its figures?

What does research say?

A study conducted in Ahmedabad, Gujarat on type-2 diabetes has shocked people. It says that normal weight obesity simply means that the body mass index (BMI) of this person is normal. But the amount of fat in the body of such a person can be high. According to health experts, if we talk about people with normal weight, then 25% fat was found in such men while 32% fat was found in women. Which comes under the category of obesity.

What are the research data?

Let us tell you that this health study was conducted at MP Shah Government Medical College in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The number of type-2 diabetes patients is high in Ahmedabad. 432 people were included in this research. It was revealed that 91% of men and 51.8% of women with normal BMI had high fat content. At the same time, many people with normal weight were also found to have a high possibility of heart-related problems.

What do experts say

Health experts say that normal weight obesity can prove to be more dangerous than obesity. Because such people are more sure that their weight is normal. Therefore, they cannot have any health related problem. Due to which they neither get their medical checkup done nor take care of their diet.
