Question

what is central obesity? give the parameters for male and female

Answer 1

The central obesity is also called as the visceral obesity. In this type of obesity, there will be an excess accumulation of fat in the abdominal area. As visceral fat is supplied by the portal blood system, excess fat in this area would lead to the release of fatty deposits into the bloodstream.

Im males, the waist circumference will be greater or equal to 94 cm and where as in females it will be 80cm. If a man has a WC greater than 102 cm, he is at a substantially increased risk, as are females with a WC greater than 88 cm
