You might look healthy, but hidden fat could be silently damaging your heart

[Робот]

McMaster researchers found that deep abdominal and liver fat can quietly damage arteries, even in people who appear fit. Their MRI-based study of over 33,000 adults shows these fats are closely linked to artery thickening and stroke risk, regardless of cholesterol or blood pressure. The findings challenge BMI as a reliable indicator of health and suggest new imaging-based approaches to assessing cardiovascular risk.
