Australians among ‘worst in the world’ for carrying dangerous fat

Australians are among the worst in the world for carrying dangerous stomach fat.

A new study has found that 88 per cent of men and 76 per cent of women have an excess of weight around their abdomen.

Those numbers ranked Australia at No.5 in the world.

Medical experts warn the excess fat is a precursor to serious health conditions including diabetes and heart attack.
