Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Individuals with an "apple shape", meaning they carry excess weight around their abdomen, have an increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and mortality compared to those with a "pear shape" who carry weight around their hips and thighs. This is because abdominal fat is more metabolically active and can release harmful hormones and inflammatory agents into the body.
