Answer:

Three Reasons

Step-by-step explanation:

1, due to the genome. By birth, there is a biologically higher percentage of body fat in women.

2, unemployment. As normally in a South African household, it is the man that goes out to work while the women stay at home. loss of mobility means the accumulation of fats.

3, Males' major sex hormone is testosterone, and females have high levels of estrogen and progesterone in their blood. Females build up fat more easily than males.
