What is Trunk Obesity & why is it known to occur more in men? BOTH TRUNK OBESITY AND TRUNCAL OBESITY ARE USED Truncal obesity can be identified clinically by an increase in waist circumference or an increase in truncal skinfold thickness. Individuals with abnormal fat distribution, characterized by a high waist to hip circumference ratio or a high truncal to peripheral skinfold thickness ratio appear to be predisposed to developing insulin resistance The mechanistic basis of the association between truncal obesity and insulin resistance is unknown Truncal obesity was defined as waist .88 cm in women and .102 cm in men. by WHO It varies according to race and ethnicity, for Asians the set criteria are low A concentration of fatness on the upper part of the body Visceral adipose tissue can be assessed more or less accurate (e.g., by computed tomography [CT] of fat areas or simply by waist circumference), whereas subcutaneous fat distribution is always measured in an inaccurate (caliper) and/or very simplified way (CT cuts at two or three levels). Until today, there has been no study reporting on the complete subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) distribution of type 2 Diabetis Mellitus men. Obesity, in particular upper-body obesity, is a common finding in insulin-resistant states such as type 2 diabetes Originally, it was proposed that truncal obesity is due to adipose tissue however, others have suggested that it reflects more closely increases in upper-body subcutaneous adipose tissue . The "Lipometer" is an optical device that measures subcutaneous fat distribution. It permits a noninvasive, quick, precise, and safe measurement of the thickness of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) layers at any given site of the human body. The Lipometer provides detailed information of the distribution of the SAT layer thicknesses. Therefore, the SAT topography (SAT-Top) over the whole body, which is like an individual "fingerprint," can be shown very precisely To many beers? **** the beer, its all about the good (but mainly bad) brown vibe Do you know that statement: When a man loves a woman, he starts getting a 'pot' belly? Well, the trunk part comes in especially if the guy drinks to many beers over years. The belly gets so tight just like a woman when she is pregnant, thus trunk obesity > My uncle used to tell me that he carried his spare tire there. ___do women have trunks no im not talking about that one you dirty mind yes they do have in fact they have three trunks its a natural phenomenon bro try sauna belt excercise and drink less men use to manufacture trunk so it is like tat. |
