Falling into the class of obesity with a BMI of greater than 30 makes this more likely, but so also does having excess visceral fat deposition with significant metabolic consequences at a BMI less than 30. The distinction here is the metabolic consequences of excess fat causing a health risk rather than focusing on the BMI cutoff.
