Why belly fat matters
Fat deep around the organs is metabolically active and is linked to insulin resistance. The NIDDK notes that excess fat, especially around the belly, is a main contributor to insulin resistance.
Metabolic syndrome
The NHLBI defines metabolic syndrome as having at least three of these:
- Large waistline: 35+ inches (women), 40+ inches (men).
- High triglycerides.
- Low HDL cholesterol.
- High blood pressure.
- High fasting blood sugar.
