# Normal weight can hide fat around organs for many Indians 2026-08-08T11:40:28+00:00 | Health & Science | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A report by NDTV reveals that having a 'normal' weight does not automatically mean a person is healthy, especially for Indians. Fat can accumulate around internal organs, such as the liver and heart, without causing a protruding belly or loose clothing. This internal fat is particularly dangerous for Indians, who are genetically predisposed to store fat viscerally. The article warns that relying only on a scale to judge health can be misleading for the Indian population. ## Coverage - ndtv.com Tags: Indian health, normal weight obesity, obesity, visceral fat, waist circumference Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/normal-weight-can-hide-fat-around-organs-for-many-indians/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
