Body Fat Distribution

8K18013

Body fat distribution is your body’s custom landscape for where extra energy stores settle—whether they pool around your midsection, hug your hips, or pad your thighs—shaping both your silhouette and your metabolic health. Research shows that variations near genes regulating adipocyte development and fat‐cell differen...
