What Is the Layer of Fat Around the Abdominal Region on Both Male & Female?
Abdominal fat, or belly fat, is a term used to describe fat that accumulates on your body in the abdomen, or lower torso area. Two distinct layers of fat are located in the abdomens of both men and women: subcutaneous fat, which sits near the skin’s surface, and visceral fat, which sits deeper inside the abdominal cavity.
