A new study investigates the link between belly fat and the risk of metabolic illness.
The results also gave the researchers a better understanding of the molecular changes brought on by an increase in belly fat and the effects these changes have on gene expression and insulin resistance. While previous studies in this field have explored the role of epigenetic marks in overall obesity using body mass index , the build-up of belly fat deep within the abdomen is known to be a greater risk factor for metabolic disease than BMI alone.
