Visceral Fat

The BVI Number

Waist-to-hip and waist-to-height ratio have been recognised by the NHS in the United Kingdom as important measures for obesity and general health.

Obesity - NHS

We all know excess fat can be unhealthy. However, not all fat is created equal.

Fat around the legs and posterior is not as serious as visceral fat, meaning fat around the body's most important organs like the heart and liver.

Developed in collaboration with Mayo Clinic, the BVI Number is generated to give an indication of metabolic risk. Those with metabolic syndrome are at higher risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke and premature death.
