Abdominal obesity, colloquially known as belly fat or clinically as central obesity, is the accumulation of abdominal fat resulting in an increase in waist size. There is a strong correlation between central obesity and cardiovascular disease. Visceral fat, also known as organ fat or intra-abdominal fat, is located inside the peritoneal cavity, packed in between internal organs and torso, as opposed to subcutaneous fat which is found underneath the skin, and intramuscular fat which is found interspersed in skeletal muscle. Visceral fat is composed of several adipose depots including mesenteric, epididymal white adipose tissue (EWAT) and perirenal fat. An excess of visceral fat is known as central obesity, the "pot belly" or "beer belly" effect, in which the abdomen protrudes excessively. This body type is also known as "apple shaped", as opposed to "pear shaped", in which fat is deposited on the hips and buttocks. From Wikipedia under the

Q. For the past month or so, I've been having severe abdominal pain. I went to a gastro, and finally after an endoscopy last week I was told I have Barett's Esophagus. I'm only fifteen. "Barrett's esophagus is a medical condition that occurs when the esophagus forms new types of cells on its surface that are similar the cells found in the intestines. Although the exact causes of this condition are unknown, certain risk factors (such as GERD, age, and obesity) will increase the likelihood of developing it.

You need to work with your doctor on this so that if something develops, it's caught immediately. You're 15 years old - by the time you may (and it just says it CAN cause cancer) get cancer who knows what will have come along. Don't let it scare you or wreck your life. And don't run away from it. People beat cancer everyday, and you don't have it anyway. Answered by Lorraine H - Thu Mar 6 21:19:43 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Abdominal obesity" |
