Mar 24, 2022
New Delhi, Mar 25 (ANI): Diabetes is one of the leading medical conditions that is impacting people of all age groups. It can put people at several health risks including kidney disease, nerve, eye, and skin problems. Researchers have looked at how fat tissue from different parts of the body may lead to diabetes onset in men and women. The findings of the study were published in the journal ‘Obesity Reviews’. Men and women store fat in different places. Diabetes, like many other diseases, is closely associated with abdominal fat. Women tend to store that fat just under the skin. This is known as subcutaneous fat. In men, abdominal fat is stored around the organs. This is visceral fat. Fat appears to exhibit different features in men and women. Currently, the treatment of diabetes is similar for men and women.
