You can now detect visceral fat and I believe MRI will do it. Not everyone of course has access to MRI. fatty liver they call it.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
i really believe that this technology this use of mri to visualize visceral fat is going to be a game changer when people see what is going on in their bellies and can see on a daily basis how their decisions affect their visceral fat then there's a striking improvement i think that's how we create behavioral change
and i would get a measure of visceral adipose tissue the cheapest easiest way is a dexa scan that's longitudinal and a better way is with an mri that's cross-sectional so they're both pretty accurate but you can monitor visceral fat i think that visceral fat monitoring is going to give people a much better indication and much more motivation to change their health
