Essential Answers: Why South Asian Metabolic Screening Is Unique

Why does Naap LO prioritize waist size alongside BMI for South Asians?

South Asians exhibit a high prevalence of 'thin-fat' obesity—storing harmful visceral fat inside the abdominal cavity around internal organs even when standard BMI falls within normal limits. Measuring waist circumference detects this silent metabolic risk early.

What are the official International Diabetes Federation (IDF) waist thresholds?

For South Asians, increased metabolic risk begins at a waist circumference of 90 cm (35.5 inches) for men and 80 cm (31.5 inches) for women. Measuring at or above these limits indicates increased vulnerability to Type 2 diabetes and heart strain.
