answer: adipose tissue.

In adults, red bone marrow is mostly found in flat bones,while In children, it is found inside long bones, such as the femur.
As people age, the
hematopoietic part of the bone marrow starts to be substituted for adipose tissue. In old age, most of the bone marrow found is yellow and not red.
