Hidden fat, hidden danger: Why liver fat—not BMI—may be the earliest warning sign of diabetes in Asian Indi...

The article discusses emerging research suggesting that liver fat, rather than traditional BMI measurements, could serve as an earlier indicator of diabetes risk among Asian Indians. It highlights how visceral fat accumulation, particularly around the liver, may be more predictive of metabolic disorders than body mass index alone. The piece emphasizes the unique health challenges faced by South Asians due to genetic predispositions and lifestyle factors. While the study underscores the importance of early detection through advanced imaging techniques like MRI, it does not provide specific data or methodology details from the research itself.
