Body Type Classification - INI
Body type classification categorizes obesity into visceral fat type and subcutaneous fat type based on where fat accumulates in the body. Visceral fat type involves fat accumulation around internal organs and is associated with higher risks of metabolic syndrome and lifestyle-related diseases. Subcutaneous fat type involves fat accumulation under the skin and is considered to have relatively lower health risks. According to the Japan Society for the Study of Obesity, visceral fat obesity is defined as visceral fat area of 100cm² or more, or waist circumference of 85cm or more for men and 90cm or more for women.
