Abstract in brief

  • Women tend to have more fat mass, especially in their extremities, while men have more muscle mass, but men also have higher visceral fat and intrahepatic lipids, which are linked to health risks.
  • Despite similar age and BMI, men show a more adverse cardiometabolic risk profile than women, with visceral fat and muscle lipid levels playing significant roles in this difference.
  • Certain fat distributions, like lower extremity fat in women, are associated with better metabolic health, while visceral fat and muscle lipids are more closely tied to cardiometabolic risks in men.

@marxfemnaari Men are always at a higher risk of suffering cardiovascular problems than women are. Why does this not make women stronger in terms of resilience? https://t.co/L8wT6ML8TT https://t.co/asbsC1htZR

@chadfelixg Even at equal weight, it's unlikely to be a fair game. Women have proportionally more fat mass and men more muscle mass & different musculature (https://t.co/2D4CdwOf1W, https://t.co/ksP8Pho1aP). The body of a 5'7", 175 lb woman is not comparable to that of a 5'7", 175 lb man.

@matchoowly According to evolutionary psychologist David M. Buss of the University of Texas at Austin, humans are in general innately inclined toward nonmonogamy. https://t.co/yQZZWT69Gd

@AlexBerkowitzz @loraob https://t.co/0tsrbHNxxk - this one talks about body composition, WHICH WOULD BE DIFFERENT BETWEEN M AND F EVEN IF THEY HAVE THE SAME HEIGHT.

@doinkershnauzz https://t.co/CSO94yuPs6. I posted this below. There are scientific differences between the sexes beyond hormonal differences. I mostly have an issue w/ TW fighting CIS women. Open to it in other sports. That bill is not anti LGBTQ. It's sports competitive fairness.

@Mike_Socrates @doinkershnauzz Sadly, weight does not translate to the genetic, muscle and bone density differences between the sexes. Not to mention hormonal differences. Read the science, it's not just my opinion here: https://t.co/CSO94yuPs6.

@eportacangen "Women and men were of similar mean age and BMI (p ≥ 0.2). Women had higher %fat mass, extremity fat, and lower lean mass compared to men (p ≤ 0.0005)." So... is BMI measuring really the same in both sexes? https://t.co/CJfBrw2tsv
