Truncal Obesity Phenotype
Truncal obesity phenotype is central-heavy fat with leaner limbs—waist and neck screens catch risk when BMI alone looks normal.
Truncal obesity phenotype is excess fat concentrated in the chest and abdomen with relatively lean limbs—common in metabolic syndrome and some normal-BMI presentations. Waist and neck measures flag risk when BMI looks acceptable.
Lifestyle targets central depots via deficit, resistance training, and sleep. Clinicians evaluate lipids and glucose.
