The prevalence of metabolic health in American adults is 'alarmingly low,' even among people who are normal weight, according to a new study.

This carries serious implications for public health since poor metabolic health leaves people more vulnerable to developing Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other serious health issues.
