You may look thin – and be too fat

If actually it is necessary to take into consideration not external appearance and a parameter of weight, and that at us inside, how it is found out, many thin people suffer dangerous … an obesity.

Today some doctors count, that internal Adeps around of the vital bodies, such as heart, a liver or a pancreas, invisible to the naked eye, can be so dangerous, as well as more obvious for environmental hypodermic Adeps of the majority of fat men.

"To be thin externally means automatically to be corpulent", - doctor Dzhimmi Bell, the professor of molecular medicine from Imperial college in London marks. Since 1994 Bell and his group have scanned about 800 person with the help of devices of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and have frameed "fatty maps". These maps show, where this or that person has adiposity.

On their data, at people bolstering weight with the help of a diet, instead of physical exercises, can render large stocks of internal Adeps even if on a kind these people seem harmonous. "As a whole it is necessary to reconsider radically such concept as the corpulent person", - speaks Bell, whose work is financed by the British Council of medical researches.

Without clearly seen signals, such as, for example, the approximated waist, thin people can lull the vigilance, false believing, that as they do not suffer excess weight, means - they are healthy. "That someone thin, yet does not make his protected from Diabetum or other risk factors connected to illnesses of heart" - doctor Lui Tajchholts, the head of cardiological branch of clinic Hakensek in New Jersey considers.

Even people with a normal index of mass of a body (BMI - the standard measure of definition of an obesity, pays off in such way: the mass of a body shares on body height in a square) can have unusually a high level of internal fatty adjournment.

Among the women scanned by Bell and his colleagues, more than 45% of what BMI is in norm (20-25), actually have excessive stocks of internal Adeps. Among men this parameter has made almost 60%.

Such people Bell names TOFI (thin outside, fat inside), that is thin outside and thick inside. "The person is more thin, it is more surprise", - he marks, informing, that thin fat men are even among professional models.

Nevertheless, the majority of experts till now count, that the normal weight is a parameter of good health, and that BMI is to a wave an authentic estimation.
