What is visceral fat?
Correct!
Visceral fat is fatty tissue located deep inside the body, especially in the abdominal cavity around internal organs. It differs from subcutaneous fat, which lies directly under the skin. A high amount of visceral fat is associated with an increased risk of several metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.
Visceral fat lies inside the abdomen; subcutaneous fat lies directly under the skin.
