Findings reinforce the importance of large-scale efforts to prevent and reduce smoking, researchers say.
Smokers may have more belly fat – particularly visceral fat – compared to those who do not smoke, research suggests.
And while smokers tend to have lower body weights than non-smokers, they also have more abdominal visceral fat, they add. They also looked at data from a body fat distribution study, which included over 600,000 people, along with information on their waist-to-hip ratio and waist and hip circumference.
“In a further analysis, we also found that the type of fat that increases is more likely the visceral fat, rather than the fat just under the skin.” “Reducing one major health risk in the population will, indirectly, reduce another major health risk.”
