Answer to Question 1

Central obesity is the accumulation of visceral fat beneath the muscles of the abdominal area. The fat in this region is very hormonally active and releases into the blood fatty acids that may change the blood lipid profile negatively, resulting in metabolic syndrome and increased chronic disease risks.

Answer to Question 2

True
