Research suggests that having higher levels of visceral fat increases the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and fatty liver disease., That ...
Visceral fat is composed of several adipose depots including mesenteric, epididymal white adipose tissue (EWAT), and perirenal fat. An excess of adipose visceral fat is known as central obesity, the "pot belly" or "beer belly" effect, in which the abdomen protrudes excessively. This body type is also known as "apple shaped", as opposed to "pear ...
“Sweetened drinks and alcohol are particularly high risk for increasing visceral fat,” Dr. Rairigh says. Research shows that people who eat more sugar tend to have more visceral fat. Excess ...
A pilot study by Raji and his team, released in November 2023, found a type of deep abdominal fat called visceral fat, was linked to inflammation and amyloid buildup in the brains of 32 men and ...
A dysfunctional HPA-axis causes high cortisol levels to circulate, which results in raising glucose and insulin levels, which in turn cause insulin-mediated effects on adipose tissue, ultimately promoting visceral adiposity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and hypertension, with direct effects on the bone, causing "low turnover" osteoporosis.

It provides an indication of health risk based on fat distribution with a particular emphasis on visceral fat; which is located around organs. Visceral fat is metabolically active, with high levels a known risk factor for metabolic disease which includes cardiovascular disease [ 38 ] and diabetes type II.
3. Sleep Deprivation. There is a link between sleep loss and weight gain. Research shows that people who routinely don’t get enough sleep tend to eat higher-calorie and higher-fat diets.. Not ...
The most common manifestations of body fat redistribution are accumulations of fat in the central body in the form of a fat pad on the back of the neck and an accumulation of visceral fat in the abdomen or belly. This fat accumulation is accompanied by a loss of subcutaneous fat in the face, arms, legs, and buttocks.
