"Dr Norbert Stefan and colleagues used MRI cans and magnetic resonance spectroscopy to precisely determine body fat mass, fat distribution and deposition of fat in the liver.
They also looked at insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion, thickness of the carotid vessel wall and fitness.
The experts found that among the fat compartments, a low percentage leg fat mass was the strongest determinant of metabolic risk in lean subjects, while in obese subjects nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and increased intra-abdominal fat mass strongly determined this risk.
Based on these findings, the experts said that in lean subjects the problem of storing fat in the leg may be a crucial factor placing lean people at increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases."
