TitleBody fat distribution Contact

Jane Whitney DescriptionThe way excess fatty tissue is distributed in the body is now believed to be at least as important as the amount of excess fat in determining a person’s health risk. Excess fat deposited around the middle (the apple figure) is much riskier in health terms than an equal amount of excess fat around the hips, thighs, or buttocks (the pear figure).
