extraperitoneal fat
men are more likely to have fat stored in the abdomen due to sex hormone differences. female sex hormone causes fat to be stored in the buttocks, thighs, and hips in women. when women reach menopause and the estrogen produced by the ovaries declines, fat migrates from the buttocks, hips and thighs to the waist; later fat is stored in the abdomen.









































high-intensity exercise is one way to effectively reduce total abdominal fat. one study suggests at least 10 met-hours per week of aerobic exercise is required for visceral fat reduction.

when it comes to body weight and hormones, it is dependent on a female's family background and what changes she can expect while she goes through puberty. fat distribution in women is at its highest from their early teens to late middle age. sex hormones play an important role in specific regions of the body helping with the regulation and accumulation of fat. fat distribution occurs in women because estrogen lessens the adipose distribution to the abdominal region and stimulates fat growth in the gluteofemoral region. testosterone, on the other hand, has the opposite effect. while estrogen lessens the production of fat in the abdominal region, testosterone stimulates the growth of fat in the abdominal region. this distribution means that women are more likely to be curvy thus making the hourglass figure a desirable and somewhat achievable body type.
