Central fat deposition, independent of fat storage in other anatomic regions, increases these undesirable medical conditions: hypertension; hyperinsulinemia; glucose intolerance; Type 2 diabetes; hypertriglyceridemia and negatively altered lipoprotein profile.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Central fat deposition, particularly visceral fat around the abdomen, is associated with metabolic disturbances that increase the risk of conditions such as hypertension, hyperinsulinemia, glucose intolerance, Type 2 diabetes, hypertriglyceridemia, and an adversely altered lipoprotein profile. This is because visceral fat releases fatty acids and inflammatory markers that can impair insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism.
