Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Excess fat in the midsection of the body, also known as central-body obesity, has been linked to an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This is because fat cells in the abdominal area are particularly active in producing hormones and other compounds that can interfere with the body's ability to process insulin properly. Iron-deficiency anemia and beriberi are not directly related to central-body obesity, while elevated HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) is actually desirable and not necessarily a negative health outcome.
