A normal body mass index may mask a high body-fat percentage. In a study of 3,001 adults, elevated body fat was found in 26% of men and 38% of women with a normal BMI, using thresholds of 25% and 35%, respectively. Higher body fat was associated with elevated levels of some blood markers, but the cross-sectional study cannot show that it caused these changes. In a separate study, central obesity was associated with an 87% relative increase in mortality risk among men with a BMI of 22. Guidelines recommend measuring waist-to-height ratio alongside BMI, keeping waist circumference below half of one’s height; this is a way to estimate risk, not a standalone diagnosis.
