Where is your fat accumulating? Different fat distribution is linked to different cardiometabolic risk in a sex-dependent manner

Differences in body compositions between men and women are unravelled in this recent publication in Biology of Sex Differences. Taking advantage of modern anatomic and functional imaging techniques, the authors shine a light on subtle differences of fat distribution, and associate them with different metabolic risk amongst sexes.
