APPLES AND PEARS

Abstract

Being overweight or obese is widely accepted as a health risk for many years. But recent research in Sweden, France, England and Britain has shown that the areas of the body in which fat is deposited are more important indicator than degree of over weight per se for disorders as ischaemic heart disease, hypertension and diabetes. Joyce Hughes discusses the importance of regional distribution of adipose tissue
