Abdominal obesity

Abdominal obesity, often referred to as central obesity or belly fat, is a condition characterized by an excessive accumulation of fat around the abdomen and waist. Unlike general obesity, which involves an overall increase in body fat, abdominal obesity specifically focuses on the build-up of visceral fat in the abdominal cavity. This type of fat surrounds vital organs like the liver, pancreas, and intestines, posing significant health risks. Individuals with abdominal obesity typically have a larger waist circumference, which can increase the risk of various health complications, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, and metabolic syndrome. Factors such as poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, genetics, hormonal changes, and stress contribute to the development of abdominal obesity. Addressing abdominal obesity often involves lifestyle modifications, including a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, along with regular physical activity. Management strategies such as aerobic exercises, strength training, and stress reduction techniques can help reduce abdominal fat and lower the associated health risks, improving overall health and well-being.
