Figure 1. Description of body fat distribution in humans. Lower body: fat storage around the buttocks, hips and thighs. Abdominal subcutaneous: subcutaneous fat storage around the stomach and chest. Overall coverage: fat accumulation in the arms, breast, thighs, buttocks, lower back and breast. Visceral: intra-abdominal fat deposition among organs such as the intestines, stomach, liver and pancreas.
