BUDMANS RESEARCH TOPIC: BODY FAT DISTRIBUTION WHERE YOU CARRY YOUR BODY FAT ALSO APPEARS TO HAVE AN EFFECT ON OVERALL HEALTH AND DISEASE RISK. CARRYING FAT AROUND YOUR WAIST, CENTRAL OBESITY, APPEARS TO BE MORE ASSOCIATED WITH DISEASE RISK. THE FAT STORED AROUND THE WAIST IS CONSIDERED MORE METABOLICALLY ACTIVE AND MORE INVOLVED IN DISEASE DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESSION. A LARGE WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE IS ASSOCIATED WITH A HIGHER RISK FOR HEART DISEASE, DIABETES, STROKE, HYPERTENSION, AND SOME FORMS OF CANCER.
