But, under BMI calculation, gaining 10 lbs is a disaster... Yes, it is. For the "over 40" crowd, the most important thing is getting thin. Let the body fat take care of itself. Most of us won't bother with it. As I mentioned, I think you are drilling down too far. Incidentally, "Lp(a)," the hereditary Lipoprotein that causes heart disease, the one that is the most difficult to treat, is typically found in people who are the thin, wiry type that engage in marathons. This is an exception to the typical "Metabolic syndrome" type that makes up the majority of heart cases. Show me an athlete with a heart problem and little body fat, and you can bet a dollar he has Lp(a). Davis mentions that he consistently runs into this profile.
