Abstract in brief

  • Visceral fat around internal organs is linked to serious health issues like diabetes and heart disease, unlike fat stored in the hips and thighs, which is less harmful.
  • Biological and genetic differences between visceral and subcutaneous fat affect their roles in causes of obesity-related problems, with visceral fat producing more inflammation-causing substances that lead to insulin resistance and artery damage.
  • Variations in visceral fat accumulation based on gender, ethnicity, and individual factors influence cardiovascular risk, and understanding these differences might help develop better strategies to reduce health risks associated with fat distribution.]
