When Scales Lie: Normal Weight but Still at Risk?
People Considered Average Weight May Still Be 'Normal Weight Obese'

As many as 30 million Americans who are considered average weight may
actually have what scientists call normal weight obesity, according to a
recent study by the Mayo Clinic.
Are you a healthy weight? Click here to measure your body mass index.
The study, which followed 6,171 Americans over nine years, found 20
percent to 30 percent of people considered normal weight still have an
alarmingly high percentage of body fat.
The Mayo Clinic says that generally, women should have a body fat
percentage below 30 percent, while men should have a fat to muscle ratio
of less than 20 percent to 25 percent.
Sumpter, a 34-year-old mother of one, is 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs
about 140 pounds, which is in the normal weight range for her height.
However, if 42 of those pounds -- or 30 percent of her weight -- are made
up of fat, Sumpter would actually be considered normal weight obese.
That diagnosis means a higher risk of obesity-related diseases, such
diabetes, high cholesterol and heart disease, which is the No. 1 killer of
women.
"Women with normal weight obesity, meaning those who have high fat and a
normal weight have a two times increased risk for death or dying from
heart problems or a stroke," said Dr. Francisco Lopez Jimenez, who led the
Mayo Clinic study.
Sumpter changed her workout routine, adding more weight-bearing exercises
to build lean muscle mass instead of only doing calorie-burning cardio.
"Resistance training is the key," said Sumpter, who is now certified as a
personal trainer and works at Equinox in New York. "There are three key
components to a healthy lifestyle, which is healthy eating habits,
resistance training to build muscle and of course cardio to burn calories
and for a healthy heart, but it's a combination of all three."

The study supports the assertion that focusing on a healthy weight does
not make you immune to heart disease or metabolism disorders.
Researchers studied 2,127 male and female adult Americans who had a normal
body mass index (BMI). They found that more than half of the participants
were normal-weight obese, which the researchers said increases their risk
of metabolic and heart problems.
