Normal-weight central obesity and cardiometabolic disorders among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians

Relying solely on BMI to identify such high-risk individuals may be inadequate for early intervention. Public health initiatives targeting obesity should include individuals with a normal BMI and central obesity.
