Please check and confirm. to physiological intracellular fat deposition in various regions of the body. Proponents of this concept argue that by focusing on the pathophysiology of cellular fat, earlier identification and treatment is possible compared to the more limited anthropometric measurements of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference which are typically used in obesity. Intensive lifestyle modification can be undertaken early if ABCD is identified and can help ameliorate the metabolic consequences of excessive adiposity.
