A ratio invented in 1832 by an astronomer, on Belgian men, to describe populations. It has no term for where the fat is, and where it is decides the risk.

This star is on the map because the show intends to take the question apart properly — the trials, how it is actually tested, whether the thing sold is the thing studied.
