Genomics of body fat distribution.

Journal of genetics - 1 Jan 2021

Saini Simmi, Kaur Walia Gagandeep, Pal Sachdeva Mohinder, Gupta Vipin

Abstract excerpt

Central obesity and body fat distribution measured by waist circumference (WC) and waist hip ratio (WHR) are good predictors of cardio metabolic adversities independent of overall adiposity. There are substantial evidence that body fat distribution is controlled by genetic factors. Even after accounting for body mass index (BMI), individual variation in body fat distribution is heritable, with estimates ranging...
