VISCERAL FAT
When fat is stored just below the surface of the skin, it's called subcutaneous fat. When it's found deep within the body, in and around vital organs, its called visceral fat. Generally, people with an apple shape (more fat in their abdomen) have more visceral fat, and those who are pear shaped (more fat in the extremities, such as hips and thighs) have more subcutaneous fat. However, even among individuals who are apple shaped, there are significant differences in the distribution of visceral versus subcutaneous fat. |
