Due to natural processes resulting from the passage of time, the problem of overweight and obesity increases in middle age and old age. This applies to both women and men.
The results of new research prove that a condition in which adipose tissue only accounts for a small portion of body weight does not necessarily mean the body is in good condition. The key to health is whether it is “healthy” or “unhealthy”.
“Good” and “bad” fat tissue – what is the difference?
The authors of the research discussing this issue are American kinesiologists from the University of Michigan. They are carried out under the supervision of Dr. Jeffrey Horowitz. The complete report of this research was published in the scientific journal “Nature Metabolism”.
The researchers were interested in the impact of long-term and regular physical activity on the structure of adipose tissue. Because of the difficulty in conducting long-term research, scientists compared two groups of 16 obese adults.
