_ABOUT BODY COMPOSITION
Abdominal Fatness
Body fat is divided into subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. Visceral obesity is considered to be a critical risk
factor along with Percent of body fat.
Lipoprotein lipase can be easily activated in visceral fat, and it cause visceral fat to be dissolved easily.
Dissolved visceral fat goes into liver through the vessel and it cause fatty liver or increasing lipid in the
blood. It also elevates the risk of hyperinsulinemia, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease.
Visceral fat generally occupies 10 ~ 20 % of body fat, and visceral obesity is assessed based on the
indicators below.
the cross sectional fat area between L4 ~ L5 is 100 cm
2
and over
the visceral fat to subcutaneous fat ratio is 0.4 and over
the waist to hip ratio (W.H.R.) is over 0.9 (male) / 0.85 (female)
the circumference of waist is over 102 cm (male) / 88 cm (female)
Visceral fat increases after their 30s in men and after Menopause in women. It is more common in men
than women and the old than the young. Visceral fat tends to increase with aging. Because the combustion
rate per minute of visceral fat is higher than that of subcutaneous fat, visceral fat can be easily reduced
by exercise or dietary control in case of abdominal obesity. W.H.R. is the ratio of waist to hip circumference
and has relation to one

s figure.
