But, the more refined analysis of the Dexa scan indicates that I have below average levels of visceral fat: I just have low muscle mass. So, the new Public Health TOFI bugbear should perhaps be further refined to recognise that some TOFIs have low muscle mass rather than high levels of the sort of visceral fat that's associated with metabolic disorders (e.g., diabetes II; CVD).
