Obesity Type Classification - INI
Obesity Type Classification categorizes obesity into two types based on the location and nature of accumulated body fat: visceral fat obesity (apple-shaped) and subcutaneous fat obesity (pear-shaped). Visceral fat obesity involves fat accumulation around internal organs with higher risks of lifestyle-related diseases, while subcutaneous fat obesity involves fat under the skin with relatively lower health risks. Understanding these characteristics and taking appropriate measures is important for maintaining health.
