5. Abdominal Analysis
Abdominal fat mass consists of subcutaneous and visceral fat. Experts say, it is not only the
amount of fat that is important but also its distribution. If the visceral fat area is over 100 cm
2,
it is
classified as "visceral obesity" regardless of P.B.F., W.H.R. or Body weight.
Waist-to-hip ratio (W.H.R.) shows the distribution
of fat stored in one’s abdomen and hip. It is
simple but useful in assessing fat distribution. Body fat is stored in two distinct ways. They are often
categorized as 'apple' and 'pear' types. Apple types are characterized by a larger waist than hip,
and pear types have a larger hip than waist. If body fat in the abdomen increases, the risk of
cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, etc. becomes higher.
