Obesity affects men and women differently
Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description
A Turkish study of more than 1,100 middle-aged adults has found that obesity manifests differently in men and women. Men with obesity are more likely to carry dangerous belly fat and have higher blood pressure, while women with obesity show higher levels of bad cholesterol and increased bodily inflammation. Researchers recommend that obesity care should be tailored to reflect these sex-based differences rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
