Abstract
Obesity is a growing problem particularly in countries of Asia-Pacific region where individuals may exhibit a relatively normal BMI (<25 kg/m2) but have a disproportionately large waist circumference. Asian Indians have significantly greater total abdominal fat and visceral fat area compared with white Caucasians resulting in increased risks of metabolic disorders at much lower levels of BMI.
