Discuss the two categories of obesity
What will be an ideal response?
Obese patients can be classified into two categories— android, a male-type of adipose tissue distribution, and gynoid, a female-type distribution—based on the anatomic distribution of adipose tissue measured as the ratio of waist circumference to hip circumference. Android obesity is characterized by abdominal fat distribution (people shaped like "apples"), whereas gynoid obesity is characterized by fat distribution in the hips and thighs (people shaped like "pears"). Both sexes can display either android or gynoid obesity. Android obesity is associated with higher risks of numerous diseases.
