Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has found that distribution of weight around the waist and abdomen (also known as visceral or central adiposity) is the most dangerous in terms of health risks such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. This is because fat stored in this area surrounds vital organs and can release harmful substances into the bloodstream. Being 10 pounds overweight or having a low BMI can still contribute to health risks, but they are generally less significant compared to central adiposity. Distribution of weight around the thighs and hips (known as pear-shaped) is actually associated with lower health risks compared to central adiposity.
