GlossaryCentral Obesity (Abdominal Obesity)

excessive fat accumulation around the abdomen and internal organs

Central obesity, also known as abdominal obesity, refers to the excessive accumulation of fat around the stomach and abdomen. This type of fat distribution is particularly concerning because it is associated with a higher risk of metabolic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. Unlike subcutaneous fat, which is stored just under the skin, central obesity involves visceral fat that surrounds internal organs, making it more harmful to overall health.
