1. Race also affects fat distribution
Compared with whites and blacks, Asians are more likely to accumulate visceral fat and have apple-shaped bodies.
2. Visceral fat is more harmful,
Visceral fat occupies the space of normal organs and tissues, affects hormone secretion of the body, interferes with normal glycolipid metabolism, and is related to hypertension, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, fatty liver, hyperuricemia and other diseases.
3. Fat or not depends not only on weight but also on waist circumference.
The simplest indicator to measure the amount of visceral fat is [waist circumference]. The standard for defining abdominal obesity in our country is: waist circumference ≤ 90 cm for men and ≤ 85 cm for women. Ladies and gentlemen, have you reached the standard?
