thumb|upright=1.3|Coronal Image of a TOFI and a Normal Control TOFI (thin-outside-fat-inside) is used to describe lean individuals with a disproportionate amount of fat (adipose tissue) stored in their abdomen. The figure to illustrate this shows two men, both 35 years old, with a BMI of 25 kg/m2. Despite their similar size, the TOFI had 5.86 litres of internal fat, whilst the healthy control had only 1.65 litres.

Subjects defined as TOFI with body mass index (BMI) 2 have increased levels of many of the risk factors associated with the metabolic syndrome. This phenotype is a further refinement of "metabolically-obese normal-weight" (MONW).
