Answer is a. True. Body fat distribution is the predictor of health risk of obesity. Individuals with an upper-body fat pattern reflecting an excess of intra-abdominal or visceral fat, have greater risk for diabetes, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, ischemic heart disease, some cancers, and death from all causes.
